Rock in a Hard Place

Do you ever feel stuck? That is sort of where I'm at right now in my journey of singlehood. One minute I'm feeling like this is where God wants me to be and then the next minute I'm wanting a boyfriend or husband. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. What I'm feeling is perfectly normal. I believe that everyone feels like this at some point in their lives.
The one thing that had been lacking in my life lately is steady time in God's Word and constant prayer. My prayer life hasn't been so great the past few weeks. I know God is there, and that He hasn't left me,  and I know that why I'm feeling like this is because I haven't been in communication with God.
Think about your relationships with your friends,  or anyone,  what happens when you don't communicate with them?  Generally they don't talk to you anymore and things just aren't the way you thought they would be. This is how I'm seeing my relationship with God right now. I haven't been in communication with him and so our relationship is suffering because of it.
I challenge you today to take a look at your relationship with God and see where it's at. I'm not implying that everyone is out of communication with God,  I am simply asking you to take a look because I belive that we all run into issues with relationships,  including our relationship with God.
John 15:12-17 ESV
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.  Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command you.  No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.  You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.  These things I command you, so that you will love one another"  ~John 15:12-17 ESV

  1. Bekka, this is so well thought out. After this busy season, where He is the reason, we all need to get back to our first love!
