Autumn in the Spring

Posted on by KDP

In the midst of this chilling breeze, I begin to wonder what You are thinking.

I can sense that You are still near and there is something I must do.

First it was the erosion that started exposing the roots and now…falling leaves in the spring?

I hear Your whisper, but cannot always comprehend what You are trying to tell me.

Gazing at the clear blue skies, I ask You the obvious question. Why Autumn in the Spring?

Impervious to my deflective nature, You remind me that I am still here due to my hesitation; my reluctance.

You then continue to say blooming requires the elimination of what is dead. So why are you still trying to hold on to it?

My response?

Scratch Paper

It’s not going through it that I tend to get caught up in; it’s what I might see at the end that can have me in a chokehold at times….

Walking away was my resolve. I surprisingly do not feel much guilt anymore (bad habit of mine). It’s just that the steps that have followed years later can at times sting a little….

I am aware that honey can run across these lips just as quickly as venom. Thankfully, the roots of my self control have matured and interestingly, my lips have never tasted sweeter until after being in this desert….

The words “Wife” and “Mommy” still feel so new. But then again, is it ever something you truly get used to? One thing is for sure, I work so hard because deep down I get scared of disappointing either of you….

This chronic daydreamer is just looking to ground her ambitious ideas anywhere that will allow them to flourish….

Writing has become more frequent  yet less structured and complete. One minute the feeling comes to me and the next I care not to finish the thought….

However, even with these incomplete reflections, I can still find peace….

Our Little Sprout

Posted on by KDP

Although you sprung from my womb, your existence was evident before our time. You were among the many seeds just waiting to be planted by the Gardener. By His grace, He chose us to help oversee your growth. Our position is not to grow your seed in the place or conditions we wish for you to be in. It is simply to utilize the resources we have been given and lay down a foundation of Agape so that you can set your roots and grow into what you were destined to be.

We don’t expect this new journey to be easy. There will be many days of droughts, and many days of floods. Conditions will not always be ideal and our tools will need to be upgraded from time to time. But hey, we will love and be thankful for every moment of it. As overwhelming as things may get, we dare not complain because we asked for this.

To our little sprout, these past two years have taught us so much and watching you grow has been a life changing experience. I pray that the Lord continues to deepen your roots and guide us to provide the right nourishment for you to bloom into the healthy, flourishing evergreen you were destined to be.
