Day Six, Seven & Eight.....

I know I haven't written in a while, its not a case of journaling laziness. But I feel I just don't want to blog for the sake of blogging. Want to share with you guys the quiet spontaneous things God places on my heart. Don't want my head to be doing the blogging but my heart, that way it makes sense to me and to you and God shines through it all. So the past three days have been very much the same, nothing major except for today. I finished everything packed down, and there I was walking out by myself. Expected to feel the same emptiness I did last week (i.e Day One...) but surprisingly I didn't. I was filled with a sense of unexplained joy. It was funny but in my loneliness I found joy, inexplicable joy, could have skipped all the way home. So I've decided to write a poem that sums up my week.

Out on the open plain

Stood a dying tree

That noone could seek nourishment from

For it could no longer bear fruit

The tree would ask its master

"Please give me new fruit"

In reply He would say,

It helps nothing because the problem is in your roots

So in His kindness He took a shovel

Dug and uprooted the tree from the gravel

And as it died a painful death

He pulled out of His pocket a tiny seed

Put it in the ground and in it His life he breathed

And as the days go by

Slowly but surely, it turns into a tree

I know I'll have more down days but with it will come the ups, but in it I know, " Outwardly I may be wasting away, but inwardly He renews me day by day."

love peace and happiness
