Lately I've been feeling tired, emotionally and physically. I feel like I am at an impasse in my spiritual walk and that I am starting to regress. I do not know what is going on with me, but I do know that I've come to far to turn back now.
Like many working moms, I get overwhelmed with the balancing act. Juggling graduate school, home, and work is not easy. Sleep recharges my physical body and staying organized keeps me emotionally stable (for the most part), but what about my spiritual man. Keeping my spiritual sanity is very important to my overall health.
It is really easy to get distracted by worldly things and daily activities. I have to focus my attention and energy on so many things that I sometimes neglect my spiritual health. When this happens, everything starts to go wrong. It's like I'm walking with no purpose because my spiritual connection is fading. I know that God is always near and he will never leave me. When I do not do what he asks of me, I drift further and further away from Him.
It's a scary feeling to not feel the presence of the Lord on a daily basis. We sing the songs about being close to God, but do we really mean them? Being in God's presence requires a daily leap of faith. It means I recognize that who I am is because of I AM. My faith springs into action as soon as I wake up and it does not sleep. Everything I do requires faith in knowing that my God will take care of me and my family. God will provide everything we need. He has always been there for me.
If you have ever felt like me, I pray that God will renew in you a new spirit. I pray that God will bless you with the strength you need to endure the hard trials, rejoice in the good, and be content in the middle. I pray that you find the time to be with God. As I'm speaking to you, I am speaking to myself. We must all allot time for God everyday. After all, He gave us this time to begin with. I know the road gets hard sometimes. The Spirit guides us, Jesus saved us, and God loves us.
My steps are ordered by the Lord. I just have to remember not to rearrange the order.
