for consecration.

 

 

this burden for a deliberate and focused time of consecration lays heavy on my heart yet again. it comes and goes, but has been weighing on my heart for quite some time now and i have chosen to turn the other way for much too long. my eyes have been somewhat closed off to the community around me, and thankfully, i am not caught up in the hustle and bustle of “drinking, marrying, laughing”. it is a somewhat isolated, solitary time, but there is a time for everything– and i must say, the timing is impeccable. call me dark and unfittingly somber, but merriment and levity is not something i’m feeling nowadays. which is unusual because i really do love the holiday season. i’ve been hearing the flute, yet not dancing. lamentations, yet not mourning. my non-response to such urges and revelations have been plaguing me, and finally…FINALLY, i am listening. i am indeed strong-willed and much too obstinate for my own good. a quiet and gentle spirit is precious in His sight and slowly but surely (hopefully), I am making my way to the journey’s end.
