learning to heel.


my friend just got a new puppy and she was telling me all the trials of training her new family member. she explained how no matter how hard they try to slow the dog down and have him listen, it literally is impossible.

as my friend tells me her stories i feel as though i can relate to her furry friend. i feel like a dog on a leash that is running full tilt but it's owner keeps saying 'heel'. i have an eagerness for what is next in life.

i have been given a very vague glimpses of what possibly could be coming my way. i want those things now, not later.

i need to learn how to heel. to be patience and wait on His timing, not mine. this is hard, very hard.

how do you sit in the moment and treasure it for all its worth without always look forward for what is to come?

  1. Good question. I believe this is something we are all trying to figure out. Good thing we have a great all knowing Father (owner). May God continue to show us how to be content in the moments.
