I just wanted to tell you that what you wrote here affected me. I have been feeling lost and empty and I was exploring the reasons why. I think a large part of it is that I have not felt close to God.

I like the idea of seeing and siezing opportunities that He puts before us. That may be a way for me to feel Him in my life.

So, thank you for this and for your wonderful advice and humor. You are respected so much on these boards.


Nope, thank YOU for writing that post.

Do you know that saying "when you feel far from God, guess who moved"?

I always found it was me.

That you are "exploring the reasons why" you feel lost and empty tells me you will find your footing before too long.

Because you have a willing spirit.

Shoot, that just made me remember something - you know in the Bible where it says "the meek shall inherit the earth"? Well, my Pastor was very much into word studies - back to the original language, etc... - and we studied that scripture one time and guess what we discovered "meek" meant?

Teachable.

How cool is that?


Sorry if I took a rabbit trail there...





Thanks again for your post and God bless,

AmyC
