This image currently describes how I’m feeling lately. I’m totally that guy in the bottom corner walking.
I know I haven’t posted lately.
You know, I used to think that I’d keep some sort of strict schedule when it came to blogging.
- To be consistent.
- To get readers/subscribers.
- To boost my blog stats. <—- Oh, how easy it is to be a slave to these!
But that’s not life for me.
Life is hectic and noisy. I used to thrive in this realm. Solving problems and organizing was fun for me.
But right now, I need rest.
Now don’t get me wrong, life is good. I’m living and breathing, which means a new opportunity to grow in character and humility. To become more and more restored. There are a lot of things good happening right now in my life. The image above doesn’t represent danger from every direction. It represents opportunities (all good) and discerning the right road to take.
That’s really all I have to say today. I wish it was something inspirational or encouraging. I wish it was something that caused us all to think or become challenged.
But this is all I’ve got today. I don’t want to force a blog post for the sake of blogging. There are plenty of good blogs to read that have great posts (almost daily).
I will, however ask for your prayers. I have specific requests:
- That this season would bring about clarity.
- That this season will result in the fruit of community.
What about you all?
How can I pray for you?
I used to have a blog and I thrived on the things listed above and I was disappointed when no one left responses. I really appreciate your honesty and that’s what keeps me interested. I’m done with people trying to “keep it all together”. I love adding people to my prayer journal…so thanks for sharing. My prayer request: for me to speak slowly (discernment) and think before I blurt things out.
If I read that at all accurately, I know just how you feel. Life is good, yes. But am I tired? Heck yes. Tired from striving, yet again, in place of allowing God to do what He wants, when He wants. Just when I think I understand the direction He is heading, I take off sprinting only to find that He wanted to go left or right… way back there. It’s interesting, in all my fleshly attempts to be righteous and holy, I get in my own way and accomplishment neither of those things.
So I’m resting too. Sitting. Being still. Waiting.
Honestly, I think it’s a good place to be– I think it’s healthy. And I think there is much to be discovered here. I think recognizing this place is the first step to gaining the most from it, Josh. I’ll be praying for you as well. And since I’m in the same place, I think, ask for the same understanding, discernment and clarity for me.
Gracias.
De nada!
Yep, you read it correctly…and yep, I’m praying for you in regards to those things as well!
