Five Minute Friday: small



I feel small sometimes, Lord. 

Small, in my place in the universe,  small in the face of the inevitable march of time.  Small, in the face of the vision you have given me. When younger,  I thought I would grow into it and it would feel less unwieldy to carry. But instead over time, it feels bigger and  I feel smaller still. My strength fades, my understanding as well. Is there still enough time, Lord to do what you’ve called me to do? Can I do these things, in the time left for me? Or have I misunderstood your meaning, your direction all this time? My understanding is so small in the presence of your plan for my life. Sometimes, O Lord, I feel very, very small.

No rewrite, no editing just letting the words flow from our hearts.
 
Today's prompt was small. Come join us.

  4. "...I thought I would grow into it..." - I so relate to this, in so many ways. No matter how I feel, I always try to remember what a former pastor once said: When you don't know what to do, do what you know to do. Even when I'm unsure, there are always things I can do, and when we keep Christ our focus, things tend to fall into place as far as what He wants us doing wherever He has us.

  6. Good thoughts on the word "small". I have to get organized a little better so I can make it to writing something in five minutes on Friday. Love reading what everyone else wrote, encouraging.

    1. Welcome Betty.

      Thanks for the kind comments. Organization is not required for Five Minute Fridays. If it was, I'd never write a word. :P Just grab the next one and jump on in. Look forward to see your first one.
