chapter

When you literally have not a single #person to #Talk with. That’s when life spirals. It’s the end of a #chapter

I prayer for extra strength for the next chapter of my life in the next few months.

The door is finally closed.

No encores, no swan song.

I had seen it coming for a while,

Now it’s been and gone.

There’s emotion and there’s grief

I’m guessing that it’s quite normal

After more than a decade in a chosen field

I’m allowed to feel informal.

I can now look back with joy

On all the things I have done

But I’m not to dwell on the “good ol’ days”

Making a home in the past is dumb.

Onwards and upwards and all that jazz

Seems just like empty clichés

When what I need now more than anything else

Is to know what my Father says.

So I pulled the car over and safely parked

I exclaimed “it’s the end!” as you do

When I then heard a familiar whisper

“Now you’ll see what I can do!”

Oh, may I be willing and courageous

When the time comes, may I be ready

May my time now be laying foundations

So that the next steps I take are steady.

Renew, restore, heal and breathe

Slow down and smell the roses

Trust in the One who’ll guide and lead

‘Cos He knows exactly what the go is.

So behold, He’s doing a new thing

Don’t dwell on the past anymore.

He’ll make the impossible possible,

And I can’t wait to see what’s in store.

It’s not the end.

The book isn’t finished

It’s not the final chapter.

It’s just the end of one

But there’s unwritten stuff in the in-betweens

Where you’re expecting some sort of closure,

There’s hidden stuff written behind the scenes.

One chapter ends, and a new one begins

Even before any visible writing

Sometimes the lack of visible material is frightening.

And that’s the life of tension, in the seams.

Life is an open book,

Sometimes dust gathers

The clean pages can become stained and worn

Character.

The result of endurance when facing problems

Trials

Strengthened character, strengthens confident hope,

Hope of something better

Hope of things yet to come

The confident hope of something that can’t be destroyed

Will never end

Salvation

Mortal life is a finite book.

The chapters will show but stages

Childhood, teen years, education and profession

Family

But so much is written in the seams

That effects our eternity.

The next chapter isn’t the be all,

Just like the last chapter wasn’t the end all

God’s working cover to cover, in the seams.
