FLEETing PICTURES in the REARview

Life is interesting, right? It is full of questions, times of straight worship, times of
doubt, lots of laughter and times of sadness (whatever may cause this). But, as I was thinking over these
things this image of a rearview mirror just burned into my retina and it was a
picture of my future, dreams, aspirations, longings, hopes, mistakes,
restoration and my past (and so much more). Lots of things over the past week have really got my soul
stirring (conversations, visits, driving, sleeping, etc.) and something as simple
as checking the rearview mirror laid this word on my heart. So here it is, I pray you find some meaning
and let it speak truth over you!

 

 

 

            My life is marked by fleeting
pictures in the rearview mirror

            With
the occasional glance to see where I have been

                       Never
losing sight of what is ahead

                       Or
what has yet to BE           

           

            I have been greeted by warm, luminous
sunsets that radiate with HOPE

            Immersing
bewilderment into the RHYTHM of my soul

                      But
still lost with a resonating smile

                      In
the passing view

 

            Sometimes caught up in the
entrancing pitter patter of the rain falling

            I
have lost sight of where I AM or who catches my gaze

                      Only
to find the answers are never left behind

                      But
instead YET DISCOVERED

 

            Open and empty hands have left me
with memories and questions

            Never
meaning goodbye just a space LONGING to be filled

                       With
stories yet to be written and adventures anxious to be lived

                       Assured
to wait for the things that MATTER the MOST

 

            Starry
nights have sized me up and left me AWESTRUCK and HUMBLE

            Aware
of something GREATER in such a minuscule perspective

                       Apprehensive
to make a move out into the vast UNKNOWN

                       But
more afraid to remain complacent

 

                       And yet this is
where YOU have remained

                       A
COMFORT not to be forfeited

                       In
a reflective presence YOU have become forefront

                       Speaking
TRUTH into my being

                       And
transforming my rearview into PURPOSE
