r e f u g e

my fingers find their way 
to the tiny 
ceramic bowl 
of extra dark 
chocolate chips,
a sleeping baby girl 
with her brown doll
snug beneath a sprawled arm,
breathes quietly
next to me.. 
the sound of cold October rain
steadily falling.
restful sigh.
this next season
i will hide.
tuck myself away.
allow Him to 
winterize me,
to gently remove the busy, 
the buzzing, 
the cluttering about,
and to fall in love
once again 
with the 
quiet,
the mundane,
the faithful presence 
of my Savior
and i will find 
sweet rest..

-the october before baby comes
small tiny steps towards less busy
