I got nothing done today
But all this nothing adds up
to a whole lot of everything
And all these days of nothing and no one
Will lead to a life that was full of love
“In this life you will have trouble, but fear not, I have overcome the world.”
This world and the part we play in it is beautiful. Yes, there is brokenness, but I want to look for the beauty of our redemption in it. The Lord has made all things new, even as He is in the process of making us new.
Join me in looking for the beauty in life through thoughts and poems. I am so glad you are here.
I got nothing done today
But all this nothing adds up
to a whole lot of everything
And all these days of nothing and no one
Will lead to a life that was full of love
Craving beauty is as natural as hunger for a good meal
I long for beautiful things
But my appetite for beautiful has been tainted
Chasing constant entertainment will not leave me fulfilled. It will not erase the difficult things that have happened, nor will It out run any hardships that are to come.
There is no date for it on the calendar, but my favorite days are the in between days. The perfect middle between winter and spring and the day when you can feel summer start to ever so slightly relent in favor of autumn.
But somehow my subconscious need to be independent and self sufficient leaks all over my children. “I figure it out myself. I don’t ask for help. why do they??” Whispers a voice deep inside.
Now is the transition
When successs is measured
Not by doing but being
Not accomplishing
But experiencing
Plans exist in the recesses of my mind
A to do list that never makes it to paper
But hands are full and it gets pushed to later
So if 35 is middle age here is to growing and changing the rest of my life.
May I see more fruit in the last half than the first half.
And let me look back and say, it’s only getting better.
Dreams feel too intangible
Like a breath
I’m unwilling to release
For fear of losing it
He can
He will
He has
And
He is.
