Watching.
Laboring.
Waiting.
Working.
Deepening waves
leading to this:
Push.
Stretching.
Tearing.
Blood vessels
popping.
Prized insight:
The prize is in sight.
Still.
It’s messy.
Push.
Anticipating,
fearing
pain.
Squeezing through.
Knowing.
Wanting.
Feeling
it’s close to being over.
Push.

WOW.
This makes me think of giving birth.
The excitement and warm fuzzies give way to panic and fear when the pain of labor over comes. We have no choice when we are giving birth, we cannot go back and do it over. To get to the prize, the goal, we have to push ahead. I love that! PUSH! Push through to the other side. PUSH! And grab what is yours. PUSH! Always forward, no looking back. No regrets. No guilt. No other direction to go.
Praying tonight for good forward pushing work.
