Today is 5-Minute Friday when we write for five minutes on one specific word without listening to those critical voices. We write simply out of that creative spirit deep inside. Join me, Lisa-Jo at The Gypsy Mama, and many other soul filled writers as we link up today for 5-Minute Fridays. Today’s word: Beyond
Six months ago the planning began. The anticipation started to mound. Boy or girl we did not know, but He knew all too well.
The big bed was moved. The crib was brought in. The rocker made its place by the window.
Ruminating over colors, names, and clothes, her identity began to take form.
Will she be passionate defending the least of these or will she quietly defend from afar? Will people give her energy or will solitude be her peace? Will words be her friends or numbers her allies? Will she ask to jump out of the tree or look up carefully from underneath?
My prayers make their way up to Heaven and she kicks reminding me, “Mommy, I am here.”
Beyond my thoughts of who I think she will be, I know, that she already is.
Her days are written, every one of them, beyond who I think she’ll become.
Beyond this place her purpose is complete – scripted right there from Heaven.
