On Repeat

Over and over and over again. I need to keep saying this, in the midst of the dark places...

I choose life.

“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!" (Deuteronomy 30:19)

I want to be well.

When Jesus saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?” (John 5:6)

I choose life. I want to be well. I choose life. I want to be well.

Still

Still quiet.

Still tired.

Still waiting.

Still praying.

Still listening and loving.

Just still.

(Be still and know that I am God...)
