Linking up once again with Lisa-Jo Baker for Five-Minute Friday.
The challenge? Write for five minutes on the word view.
from the rear view mirror
is always the clearest
hindsight
and terrain gone by
overcome and conquered
but the windshield
the windshield is rather foggy
and i can’t always see my way
with limited visibility
i squint to discern what is ahead
i ask You to show me more,
but You say,
no.
You say
trust.
i ask you to show me what lies beyond
that hill on this bumpy gravel path
but You say
follow the narrow road
i ask You to show me
where we are going
and You say
to the Celestial City
just like Christian
in Pilgrim’s Progress
just follow the narrow road
and You steer my car
and lead me
the whole way
home.
you words are always so poetic! love how you do that in 5 minutes 🙂
Thank you, Crystal! Thanks for taking the time to stop by! Enjoy the long weekend!
Beautiful, just beautiful. So simple, but oh, isn’t trust the hardest thing? It’s a lifelong journey of letting him steer, just like you wrote so eloquently here. Blessings to you on this road, friend.
Thanks, Amber. Loved, loved, loved your post this week. I even sent the link to Lisa-Jo Baker via Twitter, and she responded, “Oh holy sacred ground yes. So much beauty.” 🙂
i love this kate. thanks for stopping by my blog:)
Oh this is stunningly beautiful. We can’t always see His view, but we can always trust Him. Joining you at the Five Minute Friday!
Really like this.
This was really well done- I loved the interpretation of view as hindsight vs. foresight. Beautiful.
