Obscurity

Obscurity marks journeys of the faithful.

Not planned, necessarily.

Or wanted.

But purposeful in the work and way of the Lord.

Forgetful

Are you forgetful? I am.

Reading through old journals and letters never fails to delight. Surprise. And confound. Highlighting my forgetfulness about experiences and facts from our personal history.

“Don’t forget” and “remember” are two exhortations. Repeated in Scripture. For good reason.

“Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves so that you don’t forget the things your eyes have seen and so that they don’t slip from your mind as long as you live.
Teach them to your children and your grandchildren.”
Deuteronomy 4:9 CSB

Walking, we wait

My earliest memory of waiting? “Wait a minute. Just hold your horses.”

And the minute is never a minute.

From childhood I push for immediate fulfillment of desires. Quick resolution of problems and struggles. Longing for what’s just out of my reach. The future.

I want it now.

So I hurry up! And wait.
