inside out

we have shifted

to another new home

in Zambia, here

a view from our dining room

to the enclosed veranda

where we are bringing the inside out

or the outside in

which seems only fitting

for our life these days

driving on the wrong side of the road

summer steaming rain instead snow

dawn rising when back home friends ready for sleep

just a shadow of the Kingdom

where last will be first

giving to gain, dying to live

ever a bit of a bumpy ride

but eyes fixed on Him

Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on [a]so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14 Amplified
