interesting...

I just got to thinking... most all my immediate family members are currently sheep looking for a flock... looking for the other sheep who know the call of their common shepherd. Are we too picky? Are we hurting? Are we being taken out? Or are we waiting to hear which way the call is coming from so we can run to the shepherd?
I hope we are waiting, ears turned to heaven... and hope soon we all find ourselves surround by other sheep with which to actively wait...

As I was just about to post the above comment, a song came on and started to play the sounds of the shofar. This always is so stirring and I haven't heard one for a while... its so nice to know that God is leading us, and He is our good shepherd.

august poem

run on

run forward to the sights & senses
before you
run to the
One
who has called you by name.
who knows you &
beckons you
to impossible places.

to the places unavailable
if not for His call.
past barriers of
obstacles, closing in
give them not a second glance-
you are led by the
Mover of all things

the Mover & Maker of hearts
of dreams
& the Drive to run
to run for His heart
to run on.
