It’s been a while

So it has been a really long while since I ventured into this place…taking the time to write my thoughts, express my feelings, and allow you in.  So for the 1 or 2 people that actually still follow me…here it goes.

Wow…this is harder than I thought…It’s been so long, I don’t know where to start.  So I guess I’ll start with what brought me here tonight…an uncomfortable place, a weird feeling, oddly intriguing, somewhat confusing place.  That’s where I’ve been today!

I didn’t have much to say.  I didn’t really want to be around people (which is a big deal for me).  I couldn’t seem to figure out which end was up, yet was still very productive.  As I wrestled within myself to understand what was going on, tried labeling it “feeling depressed” or “in a funk” but none of that seemed to fit.

What I have begin to realize is that God is doing something, preparing something, stirring something that I can’t quiet figure out yet, but can sense something in my spirit.  Is it something he is working out of me?  Something he is preparing me for?  Something exciting, something difficult, something I’ll love, something I’ll hate? 

The reality is, I don’t fully understand what’s happening, but I know whatever it is, God is working it out for my good and I can’t wait to see what the end result will be.
