The previous thirty odd days at our house have made me heart and soul weary, and so so tired.
I was running nowhere on the treadmill this morning at the YMCA, tears resting neatly in the corner of my eyes, waiting for an excuse to escape. I was shaky with relief, with the absence of worry and fear. Freed from burden somewhat, I could breathe and it was overwhelming. Hence the looming tears.
And then I heard Slumber by NeedtoBreathe-(because it is only my favorite band ever and why wouldn’t I be running to it?
I am waking up now …
Words re-pooling, bubbling up.
“ And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light” (Romans 13:11-12).
Even in the midst of hard days, I am desperate for the Glory outside my window, the day at hand.
