In Him

Sometimes...
I crave change.
And distance.
And new.
And adventure.
And I see myself jumpin' off the plank into...

Into--
The unknown.
The beyond.
The imagined.

But He says--
Be content.
Be satisfied.
Be whole--
In Me.

In the hum-drum...
of dishes.
of laundry.
of sticky jam on banisters...
of peanut butter fingerprints.

Finding Him.
In the beauty of the everyday.

The change that He makes possible.
The distance that He can move.
The new that He reveals.
The adventure that He unleashes.

What I'm craving...
Is the wonder.
And I pray for it.
And I look for it.
And I call for it.

And He shows it to me--
In His whisper.
In their smiles.
In their tears.
In my husband's arms encircling.
In His Word uplifting--
In Him.

Once I was lost, but now I am found--
In Him.
