Hesitation

Hesitation. 

The soul stutters. Protests weakness. 

Earthen vessels live fragile at times. 

Trying too hard when it’s time to be still. Waiting too long when it’s time to move.

Resisting when He says speak. Stalling as He calls me somewhere out of my current comfort zone.

Jesus knows roots

Jesus knows roots.

Fig tree. On the road to Jerusalem. Cursed by Jesus for its fruitlessness. “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.”

Not even fig-bearing season, the disciples note. But they’re listening.

And we are too. Wondering. Pondering.

Walk by faith

Walk by faith? No matter what’s going on around me?

Somedays, I need to breathe a deep breath. Then take that first step. 

It only takes one in the right direction to focus my heart. 

Leaving behind preconceived to-do lists. Agendas. And turning to the one thing. Abiding in Christ.
