My transformation
mosaic of brokenness
reordered by God

Day three . . . will the rain EVER stop?
My mood was falling like the steady drops of rain
So I stepped outside.
I looked up at the clouds
Intending to share
a piece of my mind!
Instead,
The cooling, cleansing drops had their way
And I laughed
Then pounced in the nearest puddle!
I was young again!

A change of season always brings renewal.
When we open ourselves to the possibilities,
we see the beauty!
When we walk in faith,
we reflect the sun!

The dry leaves of my old life
Must wither and fall away.
Even as the wind
Blows the dust away,
It becomes the breath of new life
Whose seeds have already been planted.
Tiny sprouts rest and grow,
Eagerly pointing toward heaven!

I have suddenly realized
That the quietness of my soul
Is playing a much different tune
Than it ever has before!

It is cold in my sanctuary this morning
But so vast a choir sings so sweetly
That my heart is warmed
And my spirit renewed.
