God’s Got This

Darkness flooded my house and yet in the quiet moments of pre-dawn, I felt a stirring to rise from my bed. I resisted at first, wanting to snatch just a few more minutes of slumber but my body had other plans. I'd like to say that I crept gingerly from our room so as not to wake my husband, but to be honest, it was more like a lumbering elephant dragging my weary frame towards the door. I was tempted to slump into my cozy recliner but the air was ripe with anticipation and instead, I determined to go out onto my porch and once more await the lovesong of my beloved to unfold in the ancient rhythms of the morning. I was not disappointed. 2 mosquito bites, 35 photos and 1 hour in contemplative silence brought me to this conclusion today. As the gold leaf clouds shone resplendent in the majesty that was imminent, my heart skipped once more to receive the affirmation of the Father's love. I don't know how many others witnessed the morning glory, or if any of them were embraced by the wonders set before them, but this morning I just knew my day was birthed in new hope and quiet strength. I can surrender. God's got this.
