SoulThirst

The weather in Chicagoland is changing...

One day it's freezing, the next it feels like summer again
Fall is here... windy, rainy, mostly overcast
The sun sets at 5:00pm, and most of the hours in 24 are dark, and the darkness comes quickly

The weather reflects much of my inner state.
... the storms, constant drizzle, and tumultuous winds
... the early-darkness, and darkness that stays longer

Pray for me,
   when change comes and much in the future looks unclear: calling, direction, even location.
   when relationships get hard and being intentional is hard
   when I just become impatient and easily frustrated
   when I know there is more to who I am and who I can be, and I'm not taking it to heart.

Biggest prayer request is things about the future... here, elsewhere... where God wants me to be, what He wants me to do.

And even when the trees have just surrendered
To the harvest time
Forfeiting their leaves in late September
And sending us inside
Still I notice You when change begins
And I am braced for colder winds
I will offer thanks for what has been and was to come
You are autumn
