Robin at (In)Courage has challenged us to a creative stretch:
Write a haiku. Seventeen syllables (three lines--line one, five syllables; line two, seven; line three, five)--that's it! Set your poem in Winter, but you don't have actually to use that word; other than that, you're free to express yourself however you'd like.
Here is what the Lord led me to write this morning:
Hearts closed and solid
frozen to protect themselves
crack free for Haiti

This is amazing. I'm having trouble finding words. Our hearts break-- as His does-- and we can pour out love. Brokenness never easy, always necessary, always worth it.
