Lost for words, the closer You come to me.
Like a bird, my heart soars free and wide.
Don't mind me, just having a moment with lyrics connecting to my Relationship to the Almighty God. I've got a ton of things to do today, but wanted to take the time to write down a few things. My minds slips and forgets a lot, which is why I love photos and looking back on the things I have written in the past as a reminder of where I've been. Sometimes I can encourage myself with a few of the things I have written inspired at the time from Him. Thank you Lord.
Last Summer a friend of mine gave me a beautiful Orchid plant because I had just found out some devastating news at the time. She wanted to support me and let me know I wasn't alone, she and I started a bible study together (Gideon), she invited me out to different outings and invited me to her prayer group. She really poured out a huge heaping of love and encouragement during a truly difficult heartbreaking Summer.
Every time I would see the Orchid, it would make me smile. It was a reminder to not forget friendship. To love deeply (1 Peter 4:8,"Above all, Love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins), and to look to Him for everything.
As the plant flourished all Summer, it eventually lost its flowers. My Summer ended on a joyful, yet still painful reality. And I watched the plant at times throughout this year for signs of any new budding. I read online about caring for Orchids and decided to prune it a bit, gave it some Orchid plant food and waited.
A few weeks ago I saw what I thought might be new sprouts. And each day I would check to see if my eyes were seeing things, or indeed there was new life.
As the stalk grew, my heart took in some new thoughts.
I was only looking forward to the final stage of bloom, not the process. It takes a long time for this plant to bloom like most flowering plants.
Once I realized I just wanted to see the flower come out already, I also thought about how it will eventually start to loose the flower.
I started to not want the flower to bloom, take all the time it needs, I will enjoy each day of the process.
So, the plant reminded me of friendship and love. I thought about how I'm in a rush for final results instead of waiting on God each day and just enjoying each moment we are here together. As long as I'm in Him, it is always good. He who was with Him from the beginning, forming the earth, each day made was good.( 1 John 1:1-In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.)
Each day in Him is good, because He is by our side. Doing His perfect love thang. I just love Him, love waking up after Night is gone to His Waking Light.
"Suddenly a sunbeam arch Thrilled me to my weary heart It was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen." Fill my eyes with Your waking Light everyday.
