Heavy on the Heart

We all have times when we are feeling a little out of sorts, and while I try to be upbeat in all that I do, I still fall in to an occasional slump. This has been the case for a while, maybe it's because I miss riding the scooter, wind in the face, sharing Jesus with whomever, or even just a no brainer ride with friends to jar loose the cobwebs, or maybe it's just winter, or just a busy life.

Either way, a couple of months ago I fell into this and it has taken until the last 3 or 4 weeks to get it gone. I had been feeling a little guilty about all that I've not done for my Lord. You know how it is, you stew on the opportunities missed, or lack of them ( means you missed'em). It was hard to just sit & read scripture. With this New Year, I proposed my "10 steps to contentment" earlier post, and found that following 10 simple steps has helped.

Slowly over the past few weeks things have started getting back to where they ought to be. Not there yet but a WHOLE LOT better than it was, and I'm not feeling as bogged down as before.
I'm here to tell ya there is no more refreshing feeling than when God feels your pain and struggle and reaches down with that hand of comfort and assurance. The trick is to have faith that it will come and then be ready when it does.

like the story of the two men who needed rain for their fields, the one who lacked faith prayed and waited, while the one with faith prayed and went to prepare his field. no different today than then.

Anyway, just wanted to share my heart and get this off my chest. In that, I also want to apologize now to any who I have failed in this lull I was in, and share a small verse.

Acts 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

I have really enjoyed these last few weeks with my Lord and the messages he has sent me through His word in my personal time and the motivation recieved through our study of Nehemiah. (thanks Josh) Leadership, tenacity, perseverence, integrity, and loyalty.
What excellent teachings!


The slumber that had thrown me into a state of melancholy has passed and I now feel awakened to the work which He has commanded me to do.
Praise God, for your blessings on me, my family, my friends.
Praise God, your majesty and glory is infinite
Praise God, I bow humbly before You, oh Master and Creator
Praise God, for all that you are
Praise God. Amen
