Uncharted Day

Monday Missive #55

A Poem: Uncharted Day

Awakening…
Lying in bed,
Thinking about
The day ahead;
Everything planned
In my mind.
What needs done,
Not done;
Undone.
Where and when,
What and who?
Everything mapped out,
For that is who I am.

Rising…
Everything turns
From articulate map
To uncharted territory;
Not drawn in my mind,
Beforehand or even now.
This day shaped by God,
Living in his agenda,
In his time,
In his who, what, and when;
In his everything;
For he is in everything.

A Prayer: Lead Me This Day

Father, I think I know
What today holds;
I think I know 
Where I am  going,
When I am going,
What I will do,
Whom I will see;
But I really have no idea!
Lead me, Lord
Not to miss
What, who, when, or where
You are leading today.
Help me move
From my agenda to yours;
Let me experience the joy
Of being where you desire.

A Passage: For Reflection This Week

For in him we live and move and have our being.
— Acts 17:28a
