Five Minute Friday :: {Remember}
Remember.
It’s a word woven throughout the Israelites long journey through the desert, the thing I find hardest in weeks like this. When I long to take all the scattered pieces and unknowns, and collect them all into little packages, tied up with grossgrain ribbon -neat and tame. I am remembering that I am not in control.
It’s in the forgetting, be it with busyness or distraction, that leaves me empty. It’s in the forgetting who I am, and forgetting who you are, really, and at the core of it forgetting who He is.
But the remembering, it takes my eyes off of me, off of the circumstances around me, off the unknowns that I desparately try to piece together, and back on the One Who knows, Who remembers. Remembers always Himself. Remembers always His promises. Remembers always who I am, and who I am becoming.
Lord, give me grace to remember, and live in that sweet spot.
I’m linking up with the Gypsy Mama for Five Minute Friday, an invitation to write, unscripted & unedited, for five minutes flat.
