So I return to the outpouring of words. Quite a season it has been! “Ode to the Red Bird Who Slams into Our Window” was certainly a strong symbolic theme throughout the year, and I had to sing that song of hope through unexpected and powerfully dark places.
When I started this blog, I wanted to carry out the GenX in Midlife theme. Now, I guess I’ll just continue living as a GenXer through
midlife, let God carry on with what He started in me and those around me, and
see what comes through words as I return to some regular writing. I think I’ll
focus on HOLDING ON AND LETTING GO for a while this time around.
I thank God for being light, life, strength, refuge, song,
and hope.
And I wish that darned bird would stop slamming into my
window . . . he’s still going, 14 months later.
“I will sing about your strength; every morning I will sing
aloud of your constant love. You have been a refuge for me, a shelter in my
time of trouble. I will praise you, my defender. My refuge is God, the God who
loves me.” –Psalm 59: 16-17
