• Thursday, November 15, 2007 - My spirit is weary

Posted in camp quest

 

I'm not having a very good week with regards to the house and moving.  Satan is trying to steal my joy and peace and I don't feel very strong right now.  I've been praying for the Lord to restore the peace I found at my retreat.  It's funny, too, one of the gals did a song from Steven Curtis Chapman called "The Mountain," about those great mountaintop experiences we have - but we can't stay there and need to take what we've learned and bring it down into the valleys.  I'm in a deep, dark valley right now.  The retreat was my mountaintop!  I just keep wondering why, WHY, do these things have to be so long and drawn-out for me?  I understand learning from the waiting, and everything having a purpose, but EVERY time I go through something???  It's getting old.  I'm oh so tired.  I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted.  A year ago I was struggling with the camp search.  Now I don't even really care where we end up, just as long as we get closure to all this soon!  I can't even make any plans for 2008 because I have NO idea where we'll be!  I feel like my entire life is on hold.

Hi, yep I think most of us can relate to the mountain highs and the valley lows. But we know God is with us on the journey up that big hill and when were sliding down it to. Praise God.

Make those 2008 plans, the kind of plans that you can do no matter where your at. But for now can you start something new that you have been wanting to learn. Winter is a time to regroup and it goes by real fast if you have something that will keep you busy.

Keep the good thoughts of your plans going.
Theres something very good coming and most important, theres something very good that you have now. hugs

Happy Holidays to you and your family

You know just lst Sunday our pastor preached about this. He said that you will know when you are on the right track, and following the Lord's will, as these are the times when Satan hits you the hardest. He talked about spititual warfare, and how when you feel down it is then most important to lift EVERYTHING you do up to the One who will get you through this. I will be praying that you overcome the challenges Satan is putting in your path, and for refreshment for you during this time of uncertainty. I too am waiting for the "right" time to move/ place to move too. It is not easy, but the rewards will be wonderful if we move in God's timing. I wish you God's peace, now and always. ~ Shari

I am going to show up as anonymous since I have deleted my blog. I owe you a letter and intend to be doing that soon. But I wanted to touch base with your blog to see if anything new had developed with regard to moving.

I want you to know that I fully relate to how you are feeling. When we wanted to move from Florida, we waited for what seemed like forever. It was only about 2 years, but it seemed like a lifetime. A few years ago, my husband was without work for 25 months. We prayed and prayed for a job (and the Lord blessed us abundantly during that time of waiting), but nevertheless, the waiting seemed interminable. My husband and I have been trying to have another baby for 14 years!!! Another endless wait. I often feel just like you do....why is it that I have to wait so long for EVERYthing?! I understand that you are discouraged, and I will be praying for you.

As I said, I will try to write back to you soon. But in the meantime, if you want to email me, please do. My address is idgardners@msn.com.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and that the Lord touches your spirit in a special way this week.

Blessings,
Patti

Boy you're right. Our lives are running a parallel aren't they? Well the update on our house is this. They guy was reading to make an offer but at the last minute decided to low ball a foreclosure. So now we wait to see if that is going to go through before we know whether or not he is still going to make us an offer if it doesn't. Ugh!! I'm with you. I"m tired of the same lessons learned and of waiting. But the good news is we won't have to move before Christmas now so I"m trying to get back in the spirit of things and not let it rob my joy like it has been for the past year lol. Maria I will also be lifiting you up in our prayers and pray for direction and the sale of your house. I'll keep you posted my friend.
Blessings,
Kim
