When you’re seven kinds of busy and 21 kinds of tired…
When you’re pulled in so many different directions you need a compass to find the bathroom…
When it’s bedtime and you just remembered that you forgot suppertime…
It’s time for a different tune. It’s time for His song of peace.
When you speak all day with the language of engagement…
When you find yourself panting even while you’re sitting still…
When you’re feeling guilty because you’re not checking something off that stupid list…
It’s time for a different tune. It’s time for His song of peace.
When you haven’t lost passion, but feel taken for granted…
When you find yourself tiptoeing between relational land mines…
When you’re carrying everybody else’s wounds and aching for someone to carry yours…
It’s time for a different tune. It’s time for His song of peace.

Brought tears to my eyes today, these words. There’s such numbness in (spiritual) drought, yet He longs to rain down on us. . . if we would just get ourselves out of the way. . . and sing. Thank you, Dr. Wood
