I'm not dead.....

....just quieter than usual. It's been several months since I last blogged. I realize to the majority of my blogging friends that's basically a sin. But rest assured I am not dead, I'm just being a bit quiet. I know, just doesn't sound right does it ?! I am still in the midst of researching, praying, thinking, etc. about what might be "next" for me. I am still in my home town living and for the most part loving life. I am fighting to use my time wisely. Yes, fighting. There has been a battle with in myself of how to best spend each day. My most recent of prayers I pray before my feet ever hit the floor, "Lord, let today be a day that brings glory to You and brings me closer to Your will for my life." Not every day is a earth shattering revelation or a day that was totally productive start to finish. But I absolutely believe that even in the silence He is working. Words that He has brought to me as of late are be still, wait patiently, ...in the quiet, know, rest, peace, faith and many others. A verse I've just today begun clinging too is Psalm 69:13 "But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of Your steadfast love answer me in Your saving faithfulness." Words and phrases like, "at an acceptable time", "abundance of your steadfast love", "answer me", they assure me that indeed He has a timing for ALL things in my tiny little world. That I can ask anything of Him and He will hear me. He loves me and wants to know what burdens me, excites me, brings me peace, and so on. So, tomorrow I will start another day hopefully with more faith than I had today and a step closer to what He has for me. I hope to spend even the moments of defeat, struggle, and nashing of teeth getting closer to Him.
