I could really use my hamock, a warm night and a clear sky tonight…unfortunately the only one of those that I do have is the hamock…which means I can’t sleep under the stars, even tough that’s my hearts longing tonight. Other than that, the only words I can find to convey what’s on my mind aren’t even mine…
Winding Road
By: Bonnie Sommerville
Garden State Soundtrack
(not all lyrics included)
It feels like a flood in my head
And that road keeps on calling me
Screaming to everything lying ahead
And it’s a winding road
I’ve been walking for a long time
I still don’t know
Where it goes
And it’s a long way home
I’ve been searching for a long time
I still have hope
I’m gonna find my way home
…
It’s a long way home
It’s a long way home

With Open Hands
By: Henri Nouwen
(p. 125)
Dear God,
I do not know where you are leading me.
I do not even know what my next day,
my next week, or my next year will look like.
As I try to keep my hands open,
I trust that you will put your hands in mine
and bring me home.
Thank You, God, for your love.
Thank you.
Amen.
Question for Meditation:
Do I fully trust that with God at my side, I will find my true home?
*************************************************************************
maybe I can say something…
God, I am a mess. I need you so, so much. Please be here. Forgive my unbelief. Forgive my idolotry. I know you are all that I need…if only I could truely believe it. Lord is my searching, my longing…my desire all for nothing? I need you more than I need air to breathe. What am I searching for anyway? And how long will I look for it? Will I know it when I see it? Or will I only realize it when I finally see you…face to face? You are so beautiful and amazing…how could I ever forget what I have already found and discovered through being adopted by you. You have brought me this far…don’t let me give up tonight. I need you more than I will ever realize…Lord, please be here with me…tonight…and forever.
Amen.
