One word describes Day One so far. Fidgety. 30 days in front of me, and I’m fidgety. Nervous. Antsy. Uneasy. Anxious. Agitated. I shouldn’t have looked up the word in the dictionary! Oh, well…
As much as I’m looking forward to this time of peace, quiet, reflection, service, and rest, I think it’s a bit natural to be fidgety right now as I’m confronted with 30 days of planned silence. Silence doesn’t come naturally to me. (Not exactly a shocker.)
As I pause life for a moment to intentionally listen, what will I hear? What words will be spoken to me? What impressions will be laid upon me?
It’s the unknown that makes me fidgety. And on Day One, has plenty of unknown and plenty of fidgety.
(Oh, that’s right! I signed up for this!)
