Dear God,

Oh, to follow your divine rhythm!  Oh, to take your lead.  Oh, to reveal evidence of your coming!

Last fall I planted 75 half dead plants and 275 bulbs.  Then they looked like a tired bunch.  There was nothing to tell me in the spring they would overcome and rise right on time.  But so far they are riding the wave of re-creation.  The tall, statuesque yellow daffodils that have been standing strong for nearly three weeks look like miniature trumpets ready to sound your glory.  The tulips are just hours from unfolding showing off their crimson colors.  Before long delicate bleeding hearts will bloom and lean forward in pink and white.  All over our woods spring is arriving just as expected.

Oh, to say the same thing of your people.  How I want to live in that divine rhythm!  How I want to take your lead and stop stepping on your toes!  How I too want to give proof that I am in you and you are in me. How I want to come to new life, show off your colors, sing your song, and shout out your praise.  I want to move to the cadence of eternity's sound.  I want to be a testimonial to your living presence in the world!

Move us, Lord,
inspire us
to move
with you.
Attune us
to your
divine call.
Help us
sound off
the word
of faith,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
