Week One
52 weeks seems so long
Yet I know about a year from now
I will be asking and wondering
where the time goes.
I will be asking and wondering
where the time goes.
Intentionally
I want to use each day
to look for signs of His work
in my life
for revelations,
for lessons
for simple reminders
for deep ponderings
and those ever present a-ha moments
I imagine
they will come
in waves
in drops or
in still small voices.
But there is
no doubt—
They will come.
This week— week one!
I have pondered
the means
the way
the path
that has led me to
where I am today.
It is covered
No, smothered
with His handprints.
At points in my journey
I would move forward
Reluctantly
Shaking my head
With the “Wait, what?”
mentality dominating my heart.
But I look back at
the path
the events
the lessons
the mistakes
the triumphs
the confusion
the clarity
the mess
the mess
the joy...
all of it
And I can truly say
without a doubt
with my whole heart
He has been there in it all.
I approach these 52 weeks
Which has now turned into 51
with anticipation
excitement
and determination
to make them
the best year
best months
best weeks
and best days
to date.
Cheers to 52 weeks of 52 -- best year yet!
