Lately, it feels like trying to spend time with God is like swimming upstream, in a dress (with heels and nylons), no life jacket and eight pound weights. This blog is an attempt to break up the status quo.
Starting Wednesday night (if all goes as planned), I will be starting the Bible study "Believing God" by Beth Moore with a group of friends. I'm excited, but nervous as it seems like lately God and I are more like acquaintances rather than best friends. I've felt strongly that this is something I'm needing to do though, so I'm eager to see where God will take it.
Just finished reading the book "In the Meantime: the practice of proactive waiting" by Rob Brendle and have been convicted that I need to stop thinking of my "lions and bears" as a problem, but rather as a training device used by God to grow me into the person He desires to use. The author discusses King David's "rise to power" and I began to realize how loooooong that actually took. Waiting is so hard. Sometimes, I can relate to Luke Skywalker far more than I can relate to the teenager David, simply waiting and watching the sheep until God calls him to slay Goliath. I do NOT want to be a whiner anymore though! I need to look at this time in my life as a part of what God is doing, not as something to wade through until I get to the end of it!
