today

today my spirit is discontent.

i am not satisfied.

something missing.  something deeper missing.  it grips me.

something words cannot articulate.

i crave God.  i am thirsty for Him.  my life longs for more. 

i long to encounter Him in fresh ways.
i long for something beyond the daily life.

i'm standing in a wave pool when i long for the sea



yet, my thirst goes unquenched.  He said He would but

my mouth is dry.
//like the deer pants for flowing streams
i am just so thirsty.

i am unsettled.

but i know, so deeply i know, He will come.

my lover, my king,

He will come because He said He would.

He will fulfill//


and i will rest in truth.


{{this i recall to my mind,
therefore I have hope.}}
as surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth. hosea 6:3
