You on the beach
Me in the boat
But there You are
Calling out to me
I see it is You
I turn
I jump
I run
Nothing else matters
I run to You
I look in Your face
I want to know
How You might look at me
What You might say to me
Please...speak to me
Speak to me
Say the words I long to hear
Say the words I need to hear
Invite me once again
To follow only You
Ignoring all others
(inspired by...John 21)
So many people, so many places, often very difficult, but much to learn. I look up, listen, ask for wisdom, strength, courage, and love for today's trek.
A Decision...
A decision made
For sanity
For boundaries
For time and space to recover and heal
In the working through to forgiveness and restoration
I still am not sure where the boundaries are
And that I could do better next time
So...in spite of the "need" that compels
I chose for space
Distance from the hassle
And heart struggle
Until perspective can be regained
Reconciliation at a slower
More measured pace
The decision is somewhat painful
And yet hopeful
I feel a peace
I had not quite expected
