Inconvienent Highways

And it came to pass in those days, 
that there went out a decree 
from Caesar Augustus,
that all the world 
should be taxed. 
Luke 2:1 KJV


The Government ordered all to be taxed

All

And so Mary and Joseph

Went

He orchestrated

Highway of grace 

For us 

Their posture of obedience

(What if they said no 
I won’t go 
The government can't tell me what to do 
I protest
I must protect
My rights
My freedoms
Horns blaring
Placards waving
What if)

I want to be on every inconvenient highway for grace you have for me Poppa

Your Body

 “that all of them may be one”
John 17: part of verse 21 (NIV)

I don’t recognize you anymore

I’m out of place
Out of joint 
With you

When did the ground shift under my feet 

And create this angry defiant individualistic I’ll do what I want space that 
I don’t recognize
(or fit)
In?

When did ‘what you want’ 
Become more important than
What 
They 
Need? 

(consideration, kindness, space, a place)

Did it happen so slowly
So imperceptible (to my rose-coloured view)
That I couldn’t discern it?

Did I live in false hope that

It 
Wasn’t
Happening?

Was it always there?

I don’t recognize you

Anymore

Now 
I
Wait 
In 
Silence
And
Grief
And
Lament 
And 
Hope

That you will be restored

(getting back to normal won’t do it folks) 

And

I will be able to fully

Embrace you

Again
