I've been wanting to post something for the past week but my mind is swarming with thoughts and emotions yet feels super empty all at the same time. What an emotionally draining past month this has been. Maybe I'll gather up some semblance of a post later this week that is a little more fun and uplifting. Since returning home to the middle of nowhere on Sunday, my days home alone have been spent with iTunes on, bible sprawled open, and two different devos laying around. Fortunately, The Lord is my rock and I feel Him holding me close right now. I'll leave you with my favorite page from Sarah Young's "Jesus Calling." If you don't have this book, go out and get it right now. It is exactly what you need to hear everyday, no matter if you are on a mountain top or in a valley. I promise.
"Come to Me with your gaping emptiness, knowing that in Me you are complete. As you rest quietly in My Presence, My Light within you grows brighter and brighter. Facing the emptiness inside you is simply the prelude to being filled with My fullness. Therefore, rejoice on those days when you drag yourself out of bed, feeling sluggish and inadequate. Tell yourself that this is a perfect day to depend on Me in childlike trust. If you persevere in this dependence as you go through the day, you will discover at bedtime that Joy and Peace have become your companions. You may not realize at what point they joined you on your journey, but you will feel the beneficial effects of their presence. The perfect end to such a day is a doxology of gratitude. I am He from whom all blessings flow!"- December 17, Jesus Calling
