Be About Your Fathers Business: I Got Nothing

No Pressure

I realized recently I have spent way too much time worrying about how many people read my posts, if they leave comments and what people are thinking of what I write. So here's the deal, I’m giving this blog to God; it's His to do with what He wishes. It's His choice to bless a few or bless a lot. He is the one that lead me to start writing and it’s for His glory. From the beginning of this blog, I have started my writing by prayerfully asking the direction He would have me take. Each day He fills me with the words that I transfer to the page. I will continue to write from the heart and share what the spirit leads.

So feel free to browse around, stop by everyday if you like or just once in a while if you prefer. I love hearing from you and I will always read your comments. But don't feel pressured to do so. I love every one of you with the heart of God.

In Him and for His glory, Sherri.

I Got Nothing

I wish I had some inspirational piece to write that would knock your socks off today, but I don't. Truth is, I am fresh out of inspiration. I got nothing for you.

So maybe thats the topic today..... Being transparent and honest enough to say I got nothing for you. There are times it seems that I just fail to live up to what I would like to be in the eyes of man. I would like to be an inspiration to others but sometimes there are dry periods where there just seems nothing to give. Today is one of those days.

In a time like today where I don't feel God all around me I have learned this, I must trust in what I know to be true.

What I know to be true is that God didn't leave just because it seems dry and I can't feel Him. God is faithful. He has His eye on those He loves.

These are the times that hiding the word in your heart is for. We must learn to know God and His word so we aren't living our christian walk by our feelings and experiences but by our faith. It is our faith that holds us through when God seems distant.

I know my God, He has not left. He is waiting for me to clear the fog so I see Him better.

God bless and I love you Sherri!; May 14, 2009 at 1:50 PM

Sue said...: I am in the same place right now, have been for a while. I get ebbs and flows with my blog. What that relates to I'm not entirely sure, but right now is an ebb.

Thank you for vocalising what I feel also.; May 14, 2009 at 6:34 PM
Deare Diary said...: I can relate to this. Sometimes that is when God speaks to me in a very personal way and not to be shared with everyone. All times with him are special even the quiet ones. God bless you.
