On Stirring Soup

mom? is it ready yet? i'm sooooooo hungry”

but i learned something my steaming soup one day; something that

let simmer on low

i don't like to sit still and just let my heart stir. it seems so unproductive to this type a gal. i like to keep moving. keep doing. keep producing. keep the family rolling

but do you know what god has been tapping on my heart and whispering to me lately

it can't be rushed

when i omitted this step

all because i'd skipped the waiting

i thought it was optional. turns out it is not. it is crucial to securing the desired culinary outcome

life is like this. at times i want to skip the sitting

so i rush. fret. conspire. brow furrowed

my slogan? “don't just stand there. do something

sweetheart. darling. you fretting

stand there and wait

stand there and embrace the strange feeling of letting my spirit stir in you while you don't even move a muscle
