I had been asking for more...
praying about it
singing about it
and before I knew it,
I was completely surrounded
with
newness
challenge
change
until one day I actually heard myself saying...
"Lord, this is too much!"
and it seemed that my prayer
had been a contradiction
so I took some time to...
pause
reflect
reconsider
and as we began piecing
our home back together
paint...
flooring...
furniture...
I remembered the old saying... "less is more"
and realized that sometimes
when you're craving more
what you could really be craving is actually less
less drama
less fuss
fewer frills
and the full realization that God knows best
(and that His timing is impeccable)
will light upon you
as you graciously learn to
believe
fight
endure
even when it seems
your prayer is a contradiction

Thanking God we're back in our home!
