re-acquainted

there are plenty of things that we can't do
just as significant things that we won't do
a never ending list of things, we'd (eventually) like to do
and things that we convince ourselves
we just don't have time
to do

i don't think quiet time should be one of them

and yet i'm guilty 

of being an all-too-willing victim

of the ever deceiving

"just couldn't possibly have time to do's"

i need to reprioritize the life i live

and get a better picture

of the person i am

and the person

i hope

to be

if i haven't met her yet

how can i possibly

introduce her

to you?

there are many things i need to be re-acquainted with

besides my self,

my hopes,

my dreams,

rather than just sulking

in my fears and anxieties

i need to get re-acquainted

with courage

that casts out

these consuming

relentless

fears

i need to get re-acquainted

with the One whose always

waiting patiently, graciously, lovingly

for me

i need to get re-acquainted
with the me You believed in me to be
the me You accepted me in spite of

and the me

that is fearfully

and wonderfully

made

the me that is

Yours

i need to take the time
that was never mine
to begin with
and return it
for a chance
to once again be
re-acquainted
with Him
