By: Anna Bryant I have become a wanderer in the parched lands of a desert. When I began this journey through dunes of an unknown land. I was filled with excitement and ambition, ready to take on the world. No doubts. Not even a single worry. Now I have miles behind me and an unknown number still lay ahead. The sun, which had filled me with a sense of adventure before, has now just become a painful reminder. Another day has come and I have yet to complete what I started. I look in every direction. Sand. Sand is my past, present, and future. My heart is heavier than the pack in which I carry. There are no walls around me and yet any step I take appears meaningless. I scream with all my might, but it is just me here, alone. The sound bounces off the thoughts within my head. “You will die, before you find your dreams.” “You are all dried up.” “You are nothing.” I fall to me knees, my body tensed by the invisib...
Written by: Anna Bryant Give me strength to follow you Lord. Help me to know your face in a crowd. Let me not lose sight of the goal while in this world of training. I have struggled to run this race which was set for me, since before I was born. I want to know how I can best praise your name. Is it by dancing to a song giving you praise? Or by reciting the best written script imaginable? You say all these things will pass away…. So what is it you want from us? A question so many have strived to answer, yet why are so many unsatisfied. What if the best answer is contentment to your will…. what if we stop trying to chose what is worthy of your praise instead, Love like you did, Pray as you prayed to your Father, Trust in the promises you have made. Living out our faith instead of acting out faith.
My heart was ragged from the storm. This world was supposed to be different. If I followed your will the door would open, but I can't seem to find a key. Through the trial, I found you. I t was in the rain my will broke. You were there in the rain and the mud. You have found me. You held me. I was not abandoned. Today is a journey. Time of sunshine. Time of rain. Time of rebirth. Seasons. With each step I am walking toward the new. Through all seasons you are there. Comforter for the pain. Lover to the empty. Healer of all. You are there.
