floorboards and chairs

Who would have thought.

That trust would be such a difficult mountain to climb.

I wake up in the morning knowing that my feet will hit the ground- not sink through.

That as I sit the chair will hold me.

But here I am questioning gravity itself as my world spins on an axis unfamiliar.

Certainly preparation, anticipation and calculation should have prepared me for this season of seeming remuneration for years of a lack of revelation.

But alas this is not truth. Recognition of this is victory enough.

And so I hold on to hope that I serve a God who keeps me on the up and up-

one that leaves me not in limbo -of stagnancy or ducking poles- but

takes me home each day to a place where all answers lay in Him and filter through my willing hands-

and a heart that tries to be soft through it all. A form of holy acid wearing through till the power leaks

and His children begin to live and not doubt and trust beyond the floorboards and chairs that

hold them.
