I was just poking around today in some of your older posts and trying to catch up on my blog reading when I found this one on your slump in December.<br /><br />It's just what I needed to hear. I'm in one now, and I forgot that it's all temporary. Still waiting, but encouraged.Keith Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17815756738388471002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37091954.post-35884088152949833502009-12-31T13:29:16.776-06:002009-12-31T13:29:16.776-06:00I'm right there with ya!
I notice it comes a...I'm right there with ya! <br />I notice it comes about once a year and not always at the same time. <br />But I don't get in a slump about the things in life that I have to do such as family, work, school. I get more in slump about the things that I choose and love to do that glorifies God. <br />I start feeling I'm not productive, I'm not needed, I'm not wanted, and that if I slipped away, nobody would notice. Then I start to pull away from friends, family, and anything else that normally matters to me. <br />It's just one of statan's biggest ways to try and beat us down by filling our minds with such lies like that. <br />I don't stay in it very long. I recognize it quickly and through prayer, I watch God fill my heart with such joy and gladness for every little thing that I do. I know what I do glorifies Him and that's all that matters. <br /><br />I think you're doing a great job and that this slump will quickly turn around. It has to....he's already shown up and won! How do I know??? Becuase you wrote about it......and so did I! :o) <br /> <br />Love you!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17422379315257722278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37091954.post-78621597846875507322009-12-31T01:18:16.608-06:002009-12-31T01:18:16.608-06:00He has done this so many times in our mortuary bus...He has done this so many times in our mortuary business. I've never had to trust God more in my life than these past 2-1/2 years. But I'm still learning ... haven't mastered that waiting thing. Yet. Don't sell this blog short ... it's filled with encouragement!Stoogeloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634101864997990617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37091954.post-44185695534473568412009-12-30T22:55:44.011-06:002009-12-30T22:55:44.011-06:00Thanks for the sharing. There needs to be more of ...Thanks for the sharing. There needs to be more of the ups and downs of sharing. This helps spur one another one, but also knowing we are to wait in the slump and not venture out. This is mindful of Saul. 1 Sam 10:8 Samuel told Saul to wait. Then in 1 Sam 13:8 Saul was nervous when others were moving. He took it upon himself to do what he thought was right. <br /><br />Sometimes the slump is the testing of our faith to anticipate God's voice or our inner voice. <br /><br />When physical exercising there has to be a rest or the muscles can't repair. There has to be patience to see the accomplishment of growth in our muscles. When we do our spiritual exercise (writing a book for six years) there is a sense of accomplishment, but also a rest. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing and keep inspiring. Iron sharpens Iron and so do we when we share our thoughts and attitudes to push each other towards the goal!Stevenhttp://www.upliftingchristian.blogbspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37091954.post-89596765592440952402009-12-30T22:53:38.874-06:002009-12-30T22:53:38.874-06:00Terry, you are such an encouragement.

It must be something big! Merry Christmas sweet friend! Love you!Liz Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08467589366427109118noreply@blogger.com
