Replenishing

2024

I think my days there
               are numbered
     and it feels like
          they are
                       d
                        w
                       i
                      n
                       d
                         l
                        i
                         n
                       g
                   quickly.

I can’t identify it
     but I have this sense
                    that it’s impending.

I’m trying
          to do
     what I can
          to get        ahead of
               everything
                    crashing
                    down
                    on
                    me.

But I’m not sure
     I’m going to be
                         f  a     s      t      enough.

With so much
     coming from all sides,
          I may just end up
                         rubble.

One Year Later

Praise the Lord!

I am no longer
          stuck
     in a tumultuous
            volatile cycle
         where everything
              was so
                           unstable.

People kept telling me
     they would have quit
          if they were in my situation.

But I didn’t sense
          that’s what God wanted
     even as I pleaded
          for Him
               to get me out.

And eventually,
     He did.

He heard my cry for help
     and He rescued me.

I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
for you saw my affliction
and knew the anguish of my soul.
– Psalm 31:7

I am incredibly thankful
     to no longer be
               stuck
          in that place.

I’m grateful
     to be in a place
          where people are appreciated
          where trust is valued
          where what we do matters
                    because it’s bigger than us.

It’s all for Him
        and His glory.

It has been a time
          of replenishing
              healing
              restoration.

And I thank God
     for what He has done,
          working things together for good
                    like only He can.
