Kinda down right now and need some inspiration to reach for. I am a person constantly on the go and always busy, and it is really difficult for me to sit back and watch and do nothing. ( I almost feel as though I am sinning) But I believe that the Lord has just kinda Zapped me down for the last few months and not allowed me to be able to "move" people like I once did...ie...I'm not motivated, so when YOU aren't motivated....you can't motivate others, right, duh!!!!
Well, I'm actually in a fox hole at the moment awaiting the respite of the enemy. Been in here a while and it's getting kinda cramped and I don't "wait" very good. I KNOW that if I come out on my own, I will get clobbered, but I'm getting kinda claustophobic in here and I"m tired of the dark and "wet" smell (what I imagine a sod house would smell like, yucky). I'm tired of holding my breath every time I turn around cause I"m afraid I've been found by the wrong person.
Someone told me I needed to get mad, but I just don't have the energy. I should be crying as I type, cause I usually do, but just don't have the energy or anymore tears cause they've already been cried out.....
I'm actually whinning. I shouldn't be....I've got it better than most....Poor Sweet Sis. Alvear and her situation...Ronzo and his situation......lots of other folks who have it a lot worse than me, and here I am whinning....
I just need prayer!!!(it doesn't help that the Skinner is not home for the next few days....he's..............HUNTING!!!)   eng uin
Anyways, just pray for me and John Robert while Daddy is away.
Keep the themes coming. I need all the help I can get. |
Sis. Sarilda,
Bless your heart! You could have been me speaking some years ago.
Was so restless and felt so unsettled. Seemed I didn't have direction.
I had to be going and doing but it didn't satisfy. When I read your post
a little while ago for the first time, the words, "Be still and know..that I
AM GOD", came to mind. Waiting and patience isn't alway easy for we
ladies. We like to be doing and getting things done. But I have learned
(and I have felt guilty, and the enemy whispering that I had better do
something). One day I realized something had to change. I started by
spending quite time with my LORD. He whispered, "Just be still and know
that I AM GOD! I want you to listen, I AM ...GOD! By faith I listened and
trusted one day at a time. When I saw Bro. Ferd's post I knew God was
indeed speaking the same thing for you.
May you KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that HE knows right where
you are. It is possible that your LORD has just been waiting for you to be
alone so HE could talk to you. Focus on Him, listen for that still small voice.
In the quietness of your aloneness He will speak, perhaps when you are
lying in bed very quietly, listening, He will comfort you, encourage you
and when you read HIS LOVE LETTERS. you will understand why you are
feeling as you do. He wants to calm your fears, your questions and reassure
you that HE will never leave nor forsake you.
Blessings,
