I'm running again--running errands, through the city, around the house, to appointments, sometimes for nothing. I can barely hear His whisper when I'm running but between sliding my debit card and sliding into the van one more time, I sense His presence. He's calling to me, calling for my running to turn toward Him. I recognize that sense. It always sweeps in and settles over me like a dove landing gently and I ponder all the way home how I'm going to find the time to run toward Him. Actually, if I'm honest, it's not time I need, it's priority shifting.
I turn up the road that leads home and I long to run to Him. I know the fulfillment when I open my arms to Him in the morning and embrace His goals for me. I've known what happens when I do; He changes my plans, my running, my direction. He reminds me I'm running aimlessly at times and that it's okay to stop. He shows me what's unnecessary so I don't have to worry that I'm not completing what's important.
Lord, I'm coming home to You.

Such a good reminder - priority shifting! so true. Hey, speaking of which, we need tea together!
How true it is...*priority shift* is what is necessary. Thank you my friend.

I'm in the midst of a priority shift now too. It is comforting to know that others are making that turn and running headlong into the arms of Jesus. Thank you for the reminder to stay the course.
