Last blog of the day, i promise...

Today I was reconnected with an old friend…with someone who was instrumental in guiding me to where I am today in my walk with Jesus. Someone who is for lack of a better word, a mentor. Someone who has remained faithful and loyal to God no matter what cards he was dealt. He was there when I first met Jesus. I had known who God was as I was growing up, but I didn’t really KNOW Him. I was just an infant in this relationship and God called him away to another church. I haven’t spoken with him in two years, but today we were reunited.

Lately I’ve been feeling empty. I’m not sure why, but I just felt like I was drifting off the coast of a vast ocean, unable to paddle back to shore. I’ve been waking up exhausted after a full night’s sleep. I’ve had aches and pains that feel like my age has suddenly doubled. And just last night I realized that I have been running myself into the ground with my job, work at home, and trying to please everyone all the time. I just can’t do it. Let me rephrase-I can’t do anything without Jesus. And that’s why this has all come about. I’ve taken Him out of my schedule….

I go to church a few times a week. But that’s not enough. He needs more. Time for just the two of us. I need Him and I have decided to spend a little less time and energy on other stuff and more on Him.

When I came across Randy’s blog this morning, my entire outlook on the day changed. The sun was brighter, the time clock moved a little faster, and my heart was a little lighter. God is good. He gives and takes away, but he is ALWAYS faithful. He comforts, He reassures, and He never ceases to amaze me!
