Psalm 151 Recycled

I've been crazy busy between trying to get my art piece ready for the April exhibit and being a mom and making my seven year old's baby book (finally) and the whole trying-to-figure-out-what-went-wrong-and-how-to-fix-it thing - Oh! - and I had to read Hunger Games for book club. Of course, since it's book one in a trilogy I couldn't eat or sleep until I read all three.

So, like I said, I've been busy. Too busy to blah-blah-blog about what I am thinking about. So I thought I'd re-post something that I wrote in 2008 that still seems to reflect my thoughts in 2011.

> Psalm 151 | Originally posted July 3rd, 2008:

I was reading Psalm 139 this morning and these verses struck me, especially because of my last post.

If I say, "Surely the darknes will overwhelm me, and the light around me will be night." Even the darkness is not dark to You, and the night is as bright as day. Darkness and light are alike to You. (verses 11 & 12)

It inspired me to write my own psalm:

The Long Road Home


This road's not easy. It's not the one I would have chosen but it's the one I'm on. It's not very pretty, this road, with the dirt and the ruts that run so deep.

Yet I'm finding beauty here on this long road home. Beauty even here.

I'm coming home.
