Sometimes we feel God. He’s real and alive and we easily see His works. Other times, it’s not as clear. A dry season. A drought.
As a person who likes to take action and to be moving forward, it’s tough for me to slow down and just be present in the season. It’s like a pause button has been hit. God is working, but I don’t see it. Or I don’t like how it’s going. Or I don’t understand what’s happening.
I’m in that place right now.
I sense God telling me it’s ok (and it helps having my mom reassure me in this). That I don’t need to fix it. That I need to allow Him to renew me. Allow Him to take over. That I need to trust and it’s ok to be along for the ride. That he’s working for my good and I can take a breather.
I’m trying to rest in this season of drought, of stillness, of being “on hold”. I’m eager to the day I am able to look back and see how things worked together. How God orchestrated mighty things for my family’s greater purpose. I know we don’t always get an explanation or answer to our “why”…but, I hope to. (Another post on that one.)
Anyway, I wanted to encourage you if you happen to be in a drought season. Keep seeking God. Draw near to Him and allow Him to strengthen you. And know it is ok to be right where you are.
