truth about ana.

Hedges

I am learning that it is worth it to press on, even when the Lord seems too quiet and afar. Often, the quiet is a result of His hedging me in [Hosea 2:6], because I am prone to silly, fruitless wanderings. He hedges me in because He loves me. He hedges me in, cut off from my familiar ways and sits beside me, still and silent, until I stop stomping my feet and shaking my fists and demanding that I be returned to my countless lovers. He waits, watching me patiently, until I grow quiet and still enough myself to see that He is indeed with me.

That He is indeed for me.

That, yes, I shunned Him, but He hasn’t left. This whole time He’s been waiting for me to grow quiet and still and realize that, yes, I am undeserving, and yes, He is fully faithful, fully in love with me.

Friends, if you are in a time of quiet, don’t give up, don’t lose hope! Sit still and press on. Call to remembrance the words the Lord has spoken to you, and let these sustain you [Psalm 119:116]. Don’t let cynicism make your heart hard. Don’t be ashamed of the hope you know is yours. Keep talking to the Lord, even if sometimes you feel hopelessly distant. The Lord is teaching you something. He is. Just don’t give up, friends. Your Beloved is for you and with you. Just work on growing still. No matter how long it takes, it will be worth it. It will.

Vague Update of Sorts

Today I am sad about things, but happy about others.

I’m bogged down by some things, but lifted up by others.

I’m dreading something with every tense muscle in my body, but eagerly anticipating a couple of very good things with this little sliver of hope that has somehow survived my recently-developed, and incredibly stubborn, habit to wallow in impossibility.

I lack eloquence these days, so I give you this: Don’t give up, don’t give in. You are loved beyond words or measures.

This is very cool. Let’s dance around a fire.
