I No Longer Sleep With My Boots On

My older writing makes me smile.

She was full of passion and fire.

    Unapologetic.

You can feel it in her words.

    Swinging hard.

    Sounding alarms.

She was always in warfare.

And honestly…

I love her for that.

She taught me resilience.

She prayed hard.

Fasted hard.

 Stood hard.

Everything felt urgent.

Everything was spiritual warfare.

But I smile now because I see growth.

No longer sleeping with my boots on.

Peace time looks different than war.

Battles come but the war is won.

No longer fighting for victory.

Fighting from it.

No longer attending every fight.

Wisdom shakes her head and says:

“Not today.”

I used to wake up looking for the enemy.

But now when I rise....

I know the Lord is risen in me.

I know my authority.

And that changes everything.
