You know those moments where you’re sitting with a close friend, and before you know it, you’ve totally spilled your guts about whatever crazy/scary/amazing/terrible thing is going on in your life? That’s what this space is for. We’ve all found ourselves in a place we never expected or never wanted to be. But while we’re here – wherever here may be for you – let’s talk about it.
I’ve been feeling a little unnoticed – mostly by God, a little by man. Even though I know He sees everything, I just wasn’t feeling like He cared about how I felt. Maybe He sees the circumstances, but doesn’t notice my feelings about those circumstances. You too? Let’s talk about it…
Can I tell the truth about how I’m feeling now? I’m tired of myself.
Tired of only seeing the world according to my vantage point.
Tired of fixating on what I think God should be doing or why He isn’t doing it, as if I had any wisdom to add to the conversation at all.
Tired of being frustrated. Tired of “faithing” it.
Tired of my selfish humanity. Tired of my pride.
Have you ever felt this way? Let’s talk about it…
Is trusting God really as risky and dangerous as it feels, or have we just forgotten who He is? I recently had an experience that led me down a dark and anxious path, resulting in me laying in bed wide awake at 3 AM. Caught in a battle between my heart’s desires and my God’s timing. Rather than resting in the fact that all the days ordained for me were written in His book before one of them came to be, I wrestled with the fact that I was not given the option to write any of my ideas into anyone’s book.
You’re back! I’m so glad – I missed you this week. I can’t wait to continue our conversation. Let’s grab our preferred caffeinated beverage and jump back into this. If you need a sec to skim through last week’s discussion, no worries. I’ll be here when you come back.
Ready? Let’s talk about it.
Hey friend, how was your week? Did you continue our conversation by digging into the Word? I know I suggested quite a few passages at the end of our time last week, and I hope you had time to sit with it. And if you didn’t, that’s ok too! Scripture is always there for us, always waiting for us.
