The Gravity

That night

My soul felt the gravity

Before my head

Or heart

Could wrap tendrils of thought

Around your affections.

That night

My soul read the future

From the palm of your

Open heart.

That night 

My soul knew what had to be

And so fell 

Into your open arms

That had been waiting for me

For eternity.

10/11 Child of Time and Eternity

Every person is a child of time and eternity,
At once in the here and now,
But also living for
What is to come.
May the Love that is longing for us
Be the One to show us
The glories of eternity,
And guide our hearts
To make the joys of eternity
Reach every moment
Of the here and now.

Chasing Sunset

There is little to be sure of 

In this old wide world

But my love, with you

All I long to be, for all eternity 

Is greeting mornings

Chasing sunsets

And keeping each moment

In between

In the deepest parts of our hearts.

8/16 - Shifts in Eternity

I heard a bit of an interview on the radio today where the interviewee (a lead singer of a Christian band) expressed his hope to help people hearing the band's work to discover shifts in their eternities. Of course, he meant understandings of the Lord in their lives, but hearing such a phrase made me pause and think of what my own shifts of eternity might be.

The day my sister was born.

The first day I felt truly moved by the Holy Spirit.

The days I met Haley, Charissa, Hannah, Stephanie, Debora, Ellen, and Collin.

The glorious light I felt after changing my major to Vocal Performance at PLU.

The sheer joy of my acceptance call to SFCM.

And there are more to come, I know. :)

What beautiful life moments these are in my heart, these shifts in my existence. And such shifts happen every day, through the quiet Spirit that whispers what is good and right to our hearts. I pray that we always listen and hear the calls that shift our eternities for the better.
