Complimentary

Overcast of greys and shadows
Crept slowly into my window
As I turned to face the day
Brown branches reaching with its
Falling leaves
Mauve magenta golden apriocots slip
unknowingly
Sheets find there way into a pile
only to be scooped and brought overhead
Wanting to bask in the cool afterthought
of today
Autumn is nearing
Distinct aroma of chilled crisp air
and wood burnt fires
I pull myself to breathe in more of you
and begin my day with hope

The first day of September is almost over as I even write this but what a beautiful day my Gracious Lord has granted me. I woke up today in one of the most peaceful states I've been in a long time. This peace has always been lingering but only till this morning did I finally open my eyes and reach to grasp it. It feels great! I know that I will still find myself feeling on edge some days but today was a beautiful reminder of how near God is. Ever feel as if even as you know he is listening to your prayer, knowing your thoughts, he is somewhat beyond our grasp. Well he's not we are allowing ourselves to dangle from the tips of his fingers constantly trying to release our hold of him. Thankfully once we are in his grip nothing and no one can ever snatch us from him.
After cooking breakfast for the folks I was entreated by my lovely boyfriend to play tennis at the park. We arrived having to wait for an hour before setting foot on court. That was okay because we had a back up plan this time. You see Adam and I venturing into another exciting venue of our relationship. We are take time to learn from each other. It has been something we've wanted to do but found hard in light of our schedules. So we are playing tennis every Sat morning and also I'm learning to draw. I'm his tennis tutor and he gets to patiently teach me the fine art of figure drawing, perspective, shapes etc... So I had my first lesson today. I drew his profile. It wasn't all too great but not terrible either. Apparently I have to work on my eye...however kudos to me I totally rocked the sketch of the tennis ball in his palm. Now for my sweet today's lesson was to review the grips on the racket as well as serve. After only a few times on court I must say he is definitely catching on quickly. I'm sure after I've taught him what little I know he'll be kicking my butt on the courts.
To be able to share like this was a blessing because we were able to find each other's strengths and weaknesses. I am amazed at how God has made us. While Adam and I are very different biologically and other allys we definitely compliment each other. I am really excited about what God has planned for us and while we do not know the outcome of our relationship God knows the rest of our stories...whether they be intertwined or not. He is King and His plan much greater than ours. For this season I enjoy being able to find ways to learn and grow with my sweet
