the deer and i

at 5:00 this morning there was a deer standing less than 20 feet from
me on my back porch
she was not afraid
we lived in the country for 8 years and only saw deer from a distance
in the field
now we live in a neighborhood and they are like pets
perspective is everything
how we weave our lives in and out of our perspectives is where we learn to trust
we are all waiting on something
even if we do not know this, we are
we are made to anticipate something
our soul is never content with anything except the peace of God
and the peace of God is ever before us, just beyond our sin
when our perspective of God becomes closer to what He wants,
we will be less afraid no matter how close trouble or anxiety get
we will be like the deer and i this morning
