Hey Everyone! I'm going to try to keep updates on my summer in Texas on this blog. I really have no idea how much I'll be able to write but I'm going to try! I'm flying out from the Roanoke airport at 7am tomorrow morning--just finishing up packing and everything tonight!
As I've been preparing to head out, I'm so aware of how spiritually dry I have been lately. I really wanted to be leaving for Texas having spent oodles of time with the Lord, feeling strongly connected to Him and ready to minister! But I feel pretty exhausted, burned out, and empty. On top of that, I got the stomach bug last night and today...so I'm feeling pretty lousy! Despite all of that, the Lord has given me peace.
The Lord has graciously revealed to me through conversations with precious people over the last few days that I have had a very selfish mentality. If I am empty, then there is more room for Him to work. Praise Him for that! Here are some reflections I had from reading in Esther this past weekend...
I will read all of these. And do my best to comment on them.
ReplyDeleteI will also try to pick up my blog again. It was really really good
