A Follow Up...

So, today I drove home. 8 hours on the road. I know that sounds overwhelming, but it flew by! Mostly because I had a lot of Jesus time. I probably looked really strange because I was talking out loud with Him. But I'm ok with that. Cause it was oh so worth it.

Because I just talked a lot of things out with Him. About all the running between Moab and Bethlehem. And He brought me back to stay. He renewed me. He showed me the beginning of my Barley Harvest. He spoke over me His plans. And to rest in them. And to rest in Him.

I also listened to two wonderful podcasts by David Platt about Ruth. One was called "The Romance of Redemption," and was recorded at Southeastern Seminary. The other was called "Story of Love," which is from this past Easter Sunday. I strongly recommend looking them up and listening to them. Strongly.

Then tonight, I had just completed the last major leg of my drive, I got through Chattanooga. And as I turned the corner onto 75-North, toward Knoxville. And guess what came directly in front of me?

The Harvest Moon.

Yep. Right smack in the middle of my view. Crazy, eh? Yep. And I was listening to "Desert Song" by Hillsong (look it up if you don't know it).

The Barley Harvest is indeed here. And I could not be more excited about His plans. Even if I have absolutely no idea what they look like. He directs my steps through the field, and will provide the one with whom I will have favor, just like Ruth.

What do you want from me?

“What do you want from me?” The question eeeks out of my brain quicker than I can stop it with better judgement. It’s not a harsh, angry tone—just a sense of exasperation as I sigh and mark an email unread, because I don’t know what to do with it today.  I got a card this weekend from my former supervisor in India, a dear friend. In it was a heart-shaped magnet that said underneath, “I love India.” But that bottom section had been broken off in transit, leaving only the heart left. I immediately felt all the feels about that, because isn’t that how it all feels? My heart still holds India so dearly, but that love that tied me to it with a calling and purpose and hopes of acclimating and belonging there… that was shattered as God both called me to stay and, after my term, to leave without a vision for returning. Without a vision for much of anything, really. Some of that vision, of course, has been filled in. I know I’m right where he wants me right now. I love my job (even whe

Lent is: leaning in.

Image
The early-sun stills my heart to sit, this “making room” leftover from Advent,  is now giving birth to Lent— a new season to contemplate the old, a season of dawn: of all of our hopes, retold. But first, it’s dark and the way is long the lengthening of days piling up in fog over my heart that needs hope like oxygen my soul that needs rest, breathing in, breathing out, this sound a melody where old meets new and where I meet You. You, who said that you would come— then waiting came instead; we made our home in it, its easy idols, fingers like fans, in sticky silence, maple syrup on unwashed hands, marveling, reveling like a lark revealing hearts just as dark as the stuff we play in: snuffing out our hope; we succumb to sin. You, who promised to redeem us from ourselves, make us clean in this season to be set free, not to make yet another form of slavery fasting, freedom, resisting, redemption— the same heartbeats, beating recolle

Return {velvet ashes link up}

Image
To the one who stayed, and now must return, dear friend,  dear self, You didn't want to stay. Everything within you was ready to go. You were ready. Everything but your bags was packed: your heart, your calling, your identity—stowed away in the treasure boxes you found them in at first. Reburied like sand shuffled under waves of uncertainty, doubt, and the existential lie: did God really say? But you stayed. And even though sometimes you waffle and wonder, you know He asked you to. Every time you thought you heard conflicting words: stay, leave, you were really only hearing yourself. Until you could get away in the silence and the May stormy skies and the big white-down comforter to keep you warm. Then you could be still. Then you were silent. Then He spoke.  His words were crystal clear: I'm going to redeem all of it.  And He did, didn't He? I know you're feeling conflicted, confused over all these emotions: ready to leave, wanting to stay. A far, f
