Of Unrelenting Mystery

I'm SO excited to share the link to my friend's (and long ago next-door neighbor's) latest venture;one she has been in training for in a sense, almost her whole life!Check it out! As I read about her journey to this pointit reminded me to remember no matter what season we are in,when dreams seem stagnant in streams of Commonplace Commitmentsor mundane musts or dire detours teaching trust,God is always prepping the soil orpruning the plant,for the dream/hope to flourish and flower inHis perfect Timing.Does it not make us all take heart exactly where we are, if but to simply pray,'God, help me shine and grow for You today?'!(where the Unrelenting Mystery of tomorrow waits...) Wherever we are called to beWhatever we are called to doWe have one charge, ultimatelyTo be a vessel God shines through The highs and lows of day-to-dayServe purposes we cannot guessWhile we are learning to obeyAnd trust God’s faithful promises Experience is not in vainHow often we are blindly blessedWhile wisdom we have yet to gainIs veiled in the pain of the test The Here-and-Now that we are inIs but a steppingstone wherebyWe advance, always to beginSo much more than yet meets the eye Petal by petal, buds unfoldWhere masterpieces wait to spillLike we, cradled in the kind holdOf God’s perfect timing and will What sacred common ground we shareOf Unrelenting MysteryFor who knows what waits to prepareUs for what is waiting to be © Janet Martin So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God.
