Floundering and Seeking

This first week of summer break has proved to be very busy! I honestly can not believe it is Thursday already!!

I really feel like I am splashing around in the water looking for the surface for direction lately. Not such a bad thing just really can't wait for clear direction. I know though that right now it is just God leading me back to His Word. To spend more intimate time with him. Seeking His direction and making sure I am cleared out of the way. My summer Bible Study with my besties has solidified just that for me. Priscilla's words of exactly that reminder has resoluted in my heart so much. This is one from the second week we just finished. Seriously, this series is AMAZING!!! Go out and purchase it right away! It's awesome!



I think that is one reason I haven't been in this space of mine very much. Although I love this little spot of mine God has been seeking me with His Word, pen, and paper a lot more lately. I am not sure what that means he wants of this space yet. I am desperately seeking Him on that. I think he is molding my weakness and feeling unequipped to share anything on here and maybe shaping that for His strength to shine. I'm not sure. I am still here just seeking God in so many areas that sometimes it's hard to formulate the words to fill this white box that sits in front of me all the time like I desire to do.

I need to find the balance of "screen time" and family time. Worship time and pen to paper sit in silence time. Lots of stretching going on over here. Stretching to remove what no longer should be there and to fill in all the new God is filling me up with. The plus to all of this is that the stretching is good. My Pastor used the example a month ago or so that if a rubber band isn't stretched continually it will sit and get dry rotted and will break when stretched again. Growth and renewal comes from the stretching and that when God is stretching us (his rubber bands) it's to keep up pliable and like new. If that makes sense.

So, I guess you could say I am being stretched right now. It's a good kind of stretching and I am just savoring in every pull and tug. Working sore muscles and watching what is being taken out and what is being put in. I'm in wonderful hands.

Isn't that awesome to know that we are being stretched by the best!?
