Poetic Asides Poetic Bloomings 17-3 waiting

 Mary and Martha in Me

 

I sit at Jesus’s feet like Mary

and then the Martha in me

comes along and asks,

don’t you have work to do?

 

I wait on Him at sunrise.

He is my hope, delight and adventure.

I listen for His voice. I set about

being the person He designed me to be.

 

I’ll do my part for friends and family.

I’ll cook, clean, do caregiving, run errands.

But I’ll also pray, walk, dance, sing, paint, write.

I won’t feel bad about using my time this way.

 

No matter what I do, I live for Him.
