How Small Wonders Add Up to Something Big...

Remember how my #OneWord365 is Wonder, and how my Honey's word is Change? 

...how he wanted to be less predictable and more spontaneous?

Yeah. That.

Well then, we are on the right path!

I wrote about it on Friday and I'm pretty sure this will not become the church plant blog, but you guys... we are gloriously in over our heads! For real.  But we also know that our team is His team and He is leading us.

Here's the deal though:

He, who is never in a hurry, is moving FAST, y'all! 

It feels rushed and too quick and maybe even a little reckless. 

...Or maybe it just feels like there is no comfort zone.

Yes. Maybe that's it.

Maybe it feels like risky faith and jumping blind and leaning in to a freefall. 

We are a bit dizzy and in a haze... but we know that we know that He is in this. We are finding Wonder in all this Spontaneous Change and oh my goodness... with all the thoughts and feels and dreams, this is all I have to offer today:

It's Springtime...

when all that growth

  --all the pushing & pulling,

    --the stretching & stirring,

when all the death & dying

feels like maybe it's done.

When suddenly: Breakthrough

& we're all searching for sun.

It's the Season of New...

  --of more Light & less Night,

    --of more Bold & less Cold

of New Beginnings, New Growth,

New Direction, of New Hope.

It's the Season of Finally...

Winter has passed & a new day is found.

  --Rise Up, Lean In, 

      Abide, & Abound,

--Seek Wonder, Show Grace,

      & look full in His wonderful face.

It's the Season of

Much Fruit, Growth Spurts, 

& Flowers in Bloom...

  --of Tilled Soil, Fresh Rain,

    & of Giving Him Room.

It's the Season of Bended Knee,

  --of Hearts Bowed & Hands Raised...

    --of head back with eyes wide open,

Of searching for His Glory, of meeting His Gaze.

It's Springtime with all that growth,

  --all the pushing & pulling,

    --all the stretching & stirring,

When you think that maybe it's over,

you find it's only just begun.

And finally: Breakthrough

& oh, how we see the Son...

What Small Wonders have you stumbled upon?

They are everywhere,

once you start to look!

At first they start small,

few and far between

  --but the more you find them,

    --the more you hold them,

...and the more abundant they seem!
