Feeling Dry
I have wanted to post some strong spiritual posts about what the Lord is teaching me. It has become a bit of a frustration for me lately. I am feeling a bit dry. Recently, in the past year mostly, God has been teaching me so much and working in such a vivid way in my life. I have shared a few things but not all. I am feeling a bit dry because I do not have much to share lately. I have come to realize that maybe at this time I am supposed to be dwelling upon those recent lessons. Sometimes things the Lord teaches you are to be shared but other times it is simply a personal thing for one to digest and implement and maybe share at a later time. I hope I have not been a discouragement lately for sharing about other things. That is the freedom of the blog writer though. May the Lord continue to teach me and I will share those things that He places upon my heart to share. For the in between time who knows what will appear here on my blog. That is part of the fun of blogging I suppose.

There are times in our lives when God wants us to be silent and listen to Him. All too often we’re so busy doing that we miss what He’s up to, and other times the part that’s quiet is because God’s working in you to show Himself strong yet again.
May this time be a time of growth in your love for Him as He prepares you for what’s next.

This past year, I have really felt like I was going through a desert- dry and thirsty.
I am thankful that when the Lord takes us through periods of dryness, He doesn’t leave us there for long.
I am also grateful that the Lord still sends some refreshing rain to strengthen us for the work He is doing in our lives.
May God send some refreshing rain your way today!

I like what you said about dwelling upon the recent lessons.
I want to do everything quickly and efficiently, but often I need to take more time to reflect and meditate on what God is teaching, rather than just “checking it off” and trying to move on to the next thing.

Hello!!! Do I understand this! I didn’t go to an staff meeting this week (I’m the Director of a Women’s Shelter) because I had NOTHING to say or add. I told my boss God has pushed my mute button and He’s teaching me some things this week and I feel like I should just stay home and receive…. Emma http://www.strongquiver.blogspot.com

I understand this one. For a while I had a blog about what I was learning at least twice a week. Now, I think I am where you are. God keeps bringing up things from this year that he has been teaching me.

We’ve all been there. Don’t feel obligated to fill cyberspace with words just for the sake of the blog. If you need a little down time, that’s okay. Post what is important to you and don’t worry about how many posts you think you need to do.
