to face the mountain and challenge it and woo it until it crumbles. to not give up until the sunrise dances again on the walls and through rooms and over tables into corners. erupting hearts bringing joy… response. to keep one’s back straight. to keep one’s face toward the sun. to beckon all of life to come and follow you and the giant God. to long for truth. no blur. no mist or fog. to know life in clean, untarnished terms. to long for it as sun must long for morning sky. or dry, parched earth and cracked for drenching rain. to say, i’ll wait”… and never pull ahead or reach beyond until the road is cleared and the path smoothed. days or years. no doubt or fear. to know that never-failing love will some day somehow reach out to me. and in His hand bring the childhood dream. the eternal fulfillment. amen. amen. -Ann Kiemel-Anderson “I Gave God Time”
