Why you ask? I don't know. Well, I do, but it is all so petty and selfish. Life is happening to me, and I don't want to deal with it. I want to crawl in a hole until it all passes. I want to fast forward to the end, where God has it all worked out.
It would make it easier if I would spend time with Him, talking it out, seeking His guidance...
I say I have faith, and I do, I know it will all work out, it always does. He has proven it to me time and again...so why is it now, when things aren't as tough as they were a year and a half ago, that I find myself so distant?
Look, I am about to do something new;
even now it is coming. Do you not see it?
Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19
This is the scripture that I dug up that represented what God did in the life of my husband and I last summer. He made our marriage new, I couldn't see what He was going to do, but when all I could see was wilderness, and everything seemed dry and barren...well...you get it.
Life gets in the way, but only because I let it. Worries (what happens when things don't work out?), riches (or lack there of?), pleasures (but what if I can't have them?).
Like I said...selfish and petty.
I feel like the seed among the thorns:
The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. Luke 8:14
So, I will pull up the thorns, till up the ground, fertilize the soil, and patiently wait for the crop to spring up.
But the seed in the good ground—these are the ones who, having heard the word with an honest and good heart, hold on to it and by enduring, bear fruit. Luke 8:15 This is my prayer, to endure, and bear fruit.
So, tell me, do you ever feel like this? I hope that my ramblings meet you where you are and encourage you.
Blessings!
