Five Minute Friday : Still...

Today is a double-link-up kind of day, I think.
First, I'm linking up with Lisa-Jo again for Five Minute Friday.  Here are the guidelines:



1. Write for 5 minutes flat for pure unedited love of the written word on the prompt, “Still.”
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. Get a little crazy with encouragement in the comments of the five minuter who linked up before you.


Here     we     go.

Still…

sitting when I should have been

up already, fixing breakfast

weak and aching after a week

of finding muscles I didn’t know

I’d lost, finding strength in You

believing in happy endings

even in the face of this world

ever more rapidly spinning

into chaos and shadow

unsure where all this is going,

but knowing how it clicks,

all these stolen moments

at the keyboard, all my feeble

efforts to direct the fount of words

You’ve loosed in me

certain of the ending,

no matter how badly I screw up

today (like yesterday),

no matter how the hours unwind

before me—

always, forever, unchanging

You, Lord

and thankfulness for letting me

walk with You

I'm sure this is not a surprise to any of my family who read this, but I've discovered that I love to write.  Even within strictly enforced time limits.  (Actually, the rules make it more fun!)

What about you?  Would you like to join the fun?  Share your own thoughts and link up!

I'm linking up to Five Minute Friday because I love to write,
and
linking up to Finding Joy because loving the Lord through my writing is one of my Favorite Things!
