Power's out.

I go to the antique cabinet

And select the fattest candles

I put kitty cat in the laundry room

Her curiosity usually gets her in trouble

I consider jamming on the guitar

I consider continuing the song I started writing

Or writing my application essays...

It's quiet

I decide to journal

I then realize

That it took a power outage

For me to set everything aside

And remember the LORD

Who is so good to me

That He should be on my mind

Every waking moment

That He should be my inspiration

For every goal

For every dream

Every ambition

Every breath

I know that God blessed me with this power outage

Because the power came back on

As soon as pen met paper

And I began my focused

Quiet

Rare

Sweet

Intentional

Spiritually hungry

Time with my Father.
