Awake

Five Minute Friday! I haven't done a five minute friday in so long! But I'm back! Here's the deal: write for five minutes, on one word. Don't edit. Don't worry. Today's word is awake.

go.

I was hoping for something that might show me what to do. I'm trying to make a decision, a commitment or not a commitment. I don't know what God wants me to do.

Snow is my most favorite. Add some icey chunks whipping into my face and I'm in bliss. No joke. I adore snow. I love natural things that show me I am alive. Truly alive, feeling everything. I love the prick of ice on my face. These blustery winter days remind me of who I am. What I was made for.

Awake. I feel awake, alive, and most of all, loved. (too many commas? too bad :) ) Whistling wind reminds me of God. Of being awake. Aware, alert, my whole soul open to the joy of winter.

I need to learn to listen. To wake up when I am warm, safe. To not lull back to sleepiness. Active listening, awake listening, so I can hear what He wants me to do.

I don't know what to do, but snow is my most favorite.
