I've been reading through old journal entries & I came upon this image that I had in prayer a couple years ago:
"Abba, thanks for being here with me in this place. Thanks for being present in a way I’ve never felt you before. There’s so much I could get distracted by, whether it be Christmas, my family, trying to make a decision...but if I look past all that, in the midst of all those distractions there is one thing that doesn’t move. You. I can imagine myself on the outside of an ice skating rink, all these people skating by who represent all these different things I could get distracted by...but when I look up & past all that, I lock eyes with your gaze, and I start to move towards you. All these things & people are skating past me as I move forward, but I’m unphased And as I draw closer, you reach out your hand to me & I reach out and take it. For a moment, I simply gaze into your eyes. You see me in a way no one else does. Then...we dance. Though I don’t know how to skate, you take the lead, and my footing is sure as we dance & twirl & move swiftly across the ice, my focus not being drawn from You. In You I know peace, joy, freedom, & confidence I know nowhere else."
