OK I haven't blogged here in ages, partly because I haven't quite known how to put my thoughts into words let alone in print. (I'm not the best at words...) Lately it seems I've been traveling along a road full of new things to learn, new hurdles to cross and all in all more ways to grow up and mature. the last week or so has been a major growing time. Through it all I felt it was just another dry spell in my life, I felt like God was just ages away, and I needed direction, answers but I heard nothing. I begged Him to show me He was there, that He really was calling my name through all that I was facing but I heard nothing. I'd pick up my bible and it seemed even that was against me. everything I read was about getting punished some how. Saturday night though I was so discouraged, I didn't know what to do. I picked up my Bible before going to bed and opened it to Isaiah 40 and I just started reading, and the last few verses totally spoke to me. "Why sayest thou, O Jacob and speakest, O Isreal, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of His understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no strength He increaseth strength......But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:27-29 & 30
Ever since that evening I feel like God has put different things in my path to prove to me that He is there and He always will be, and that need not worry about Him forgetting me. :)
