Today I don't have a poem
I don't have lyrics to a song
Or a mind that really wants to
Do any thinking at all.
It is just a need to write.
For the pure pleasure and
For my own therapeutic reason
That is good enough for me.
So I write. I write to you today
about timing. My husband and I did not find
The nest, the home we were looking for, during a long
3 month period, in which our patience was tested.
And then out of no where, my husband gets a call that
we will be relocating for his job.
Except now, we will be living in an area that will increase the odds of my dreams fourishing more quickly. There is film, music and art throughout the city. We will both be happier there. Sometimes things happen for a reason, and it is all a part of the "Greater Plan." Our patience, emotions and flexibility were tested--but in the end we were powerless to the PLAN.
And just like we were powerless in the end to the PLAN, in many ways, it is the same for our dreams. Life takes us on unexpected adventures. All I can say now is that I want to surrender to the plan.

Let me share with you one of my favorite poems:
"My life is but a weaving
Between my God and me
I do not choose the colors
He worketh steadily
Offtimes He weaveth sorrow
And I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper
And I the underside
Not till the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Will God unveil the canvas
And explain the reasons why
Dark threads are as needful
In the skillful weaver's hands
As threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.."
Isn't it beautiful? I remind myself of these lines everytime my patience is tested. That I am not seeing the bigger picture and God has bigger plans for me :)
I'm sure you agree.. You and Art deserve the best and so "everything DOES happen for a reason"
