Generally speaking,

I like to write things that are inspiring.
I love being able to take what God has done in my life 
and share it with others,
praying that God will reveal himself to them as he did with me.
 
Oppositely,
I really don't like writing anything sad.
I always just end up feeling whiny and melodramatic.
 
Im a writer by nature.
No matter what's going on in my life,
I always have a journal nearby to help get my thoughts together.
 
Since I've been on the World Race,
most of my blog posts have typically been a summary of what the Lords been teaching me.
Or stories of how he's moving in the places I've been to.
Or the classic- asking for more money 🙂
So brace yourself, because what I'm about to say may shock you:
 
Sometimes, I just really don't feel God.
And I'm walking in one of those seasons right now.
I have a lack of motivation
and a lack of inspiration.
I feel lonely and confused. 
I don't really know how to connect with God right now.
I open the Word and just stare blankly.
 
So there you have it.
I wrestled with whether or not to write this,
because the last thing I want is to come across as depressing.
But I refuse to not be honest.
 
So then what do we do?
When we don't feel the Spirit moving inside,
how do we connect with God?
 
We cling to the truth of his promises.
That's all I've been able to do.
And honestly?
Most days, I struggle to believe them.
But I'm holding out for hope that one day they'll sink in and take root.
 
Because faith based on emotion just isn't working.
