Hello from Kyrgyzstan! An update about China will be coming soon, but first I wanted to share a poem I wrote as part of a devotional we did in Nepal.
*. *. *.
How long, they ask, how long?
Yeah, Lord
I have been waiting patiently
Oh so patiently.
Eyes on the clock
And not on my Rock
As time turns to minutes
And minutes to years
And years to fears
That You will never answer my prayers.
How long, I ask, how long?
If at all, if ever?
I have been waiting patiently
While hope drains from my heart
Like living water from a broken cup
Did I not love You enough?
But I am patient.
Oh so patient.
See me.
See me.
See me.
Waiting.
Right here where You left me
You left me
Didn’t you?
How long, You ask, how long?
I have been waiting patiently
Oh so patiently
For your heart to turn to Me
Daughter
I have been waiting
As time turns to minutes
And minutes to years
For your fears
To turn to trust
See Me.
See Me, and not the clock
Nor the calander
Nor the wrinkles on your skin
And let me begin
To fill you up with timeless faith
And hope that does not disappoint.
Come, daughter.
It’s time.
(Inspired by Psalm 13)
