I haven't blogged much lately. The trend seems to be towards podcasting rather than blogging.
But for me, the written word will never lose it's appeal.
I like writing so much still, that I contemplate buying an old fashioned type writer, just so that my words and I can be closer, rather than divided by apps and the AI interfaces that inhabits most devices now a days.
Well, I just wanted to encourage someone today.....
I feel like there are some folks needing some encouragement.
You feel alone. You feel disappointed because some of your goals have not yet been reached. You doubt whether God has heard you and you doubt your own ability to achieve your goals.
First of all, I want you to stop being so hard on yourself. I want you to take some time to unplug and get as quiet as possible. Don't let too many apps clutter your mental space.
Give yourself time to think. Time to pray. Time to just be quiet.
You know that when you seek God, that He rewards you by bringing your own desires closer to fulfillment. So we need to remind ourselves sometimes that our efforts to serve or seek God and spend time in His presence is not "wasted" fruitless time.
When you please God, joy ....the kind that is simple and clean, comes closer to your heart.
Communing with your Creator is the same as communing with Jesus. God is one.
Well, funny enough, I feel like I have said enough. I thought I would be writing many pages, but I feel at peace.
By the way, the picture I took and pasted at the beginning of this post....is a pear that hangs in our community fruit forest. I am so proud that our city has spent time and money to install and maintain a free community fruit forest. There are at least 2 that I know of, in this area.
Feeding one another can only be good.....do you agree?
Peace,
Carla.
