Winter's Womb


~***~

This Place In Between
seed sown
and Heaven's Harvest

From a barren land
to a Bountiful Country...

Held in this holy hush
This pregnant pause
this Crossing...

Your Word is woven into flesh
Your every thought toward me takes shape...

Traveling through these trimesters
This meaningful metamorphosis
Treasuring the transformation of time

Till fully formed,
Delightfully Designed

I am Born

into Brand New Day.....

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
-Jeremiah 29:11

I love this analogy....Winters Womb......Held in the Holy Hush....maybe the reason we have had so much snow this year is because God is wanting us to be quiet and let Him do his work......

Your words are inspiring.....hugs

You're glowing with the beauty
of the life harbored safely inside of you
"until the appointed time"
~pregnant with hope and destiny
and all aglow!!!
Dormancy is gorgeous on you, Liz.
Beautiful waiting,
glowing you:)

Liz this is so wonderful. "treasuring the transformation time" not trying to hurry it up, just living it is sometimes hard for me...but I don't want to damage the process by emerging before it's finished.

I love you, Sis. Your words are poetic and soothing... I can tell that God whispers to your heart.
