Five Minute Friday: Empty

The current state of my tummy: empty.  The place my mind never seems to be: empty.

Who knew that one word + one person = two vastly different empties?

I don’t function well when the tummy is lacking food.  It never desires to be full to the brim; that’s most uncomfortable.  At the same time, there are moments when no matter how hard I try, my mind always has something in it.  Someone that it’s on.  Someplace else it would rather be, dream, imagine about.

Designed on purpose and with purpose, empty was a feeling we were never intended to feel.  God had planned to walk alongside us, meeting with Adam & Eve daily in their lush garden estate.  Serenity was shattered thanks to the empty lies and false promises of a lying slitherer.  That Snake introduced empty.  Life has never been the same since.

There is hope of fullness.  The right kind of fullness.  Fullness of joy, love, peace.  Fullness of soul.
