here.

i wasn’t sure if i was going to do this or not, 
for fear that i was already spreading myself too thinly 
(like normal)
on just this twenty first day of january.
but then, while i was resting in Him,
the
perfect
word
came
to
me.
in a brief whisper from Him, 
i knew that i needed to focus on a word for this year
and i knew what this word was going to be.

here.


i really struggle with being here.
i long to be here.
not here a couple of moments ago
or in a couple of moments when i reflect on my time being here.
but simply here.
right here.
right now.
here.

my children constantly show me what it is like to simply
be here.
