it's a gentle nudge in the moments before the sun has topped the trees. a calling of sorts. there was a time when it was something to be checked off my list. devotions? check. prayer? check. now it is like a friend waiting with coffee in hand to hear about my best and worst moments. she leans in as i whisper the things that haunt my soul, my struggles. her brows furrow as she takes in every word, branding them on her heart. when i cry, she cries. when i laugh, she laughs. she nods her head as i pour out. she's been there. she's walked this road before.
she reminds me of her love and the folly of it all.
that is why i meet her in the morning.

ReplyDeletei so relate to it once something i checked off my to-do list, but now it is a friend.
so beautifully written. all of your posts are. I've def been nosy!
ReplyDeleteI feel like this could be interpreted in so many ways...one's bible, one's journal, one's day planner, even one's view off a porch. people find their answers and comfort from so many various sources, I love how you expressed yours.
So eloquent! I loved it. I wish I could be an early riser and meet my journal in the morning {along with the Bible} to take time for myself. I just am more of a night owl than an early bird.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to find the discipline to do this in the AM. Each night, I am sketchy, depending on how tired I am. Thanks for the motivation.
