And from the comments above, it seems we're not alone. How privileged we are to know that how we feel never prevents our Lord from carrying on his good and perfect plan. We can rest and wait.

I relate to your words...I'm writing but I really feel like the 'heart' is out of it:) and yet, i feel a distinct prompting that I'm not to stop...sigh(or is it my stubborn streak;)'it IS a beautiful life...that's what I whisper, thanks to you, when I'm feeling a little blue The feeling I have is more like anxiety, (kids, finances, marriage etc.) Just today I came across this verse Anxiety in the heart of a man weighs it down, but a good word makes it glad Prov.12:25 NASB You have sent so many good words my way to make me glad and I thank-you and send you hugs, love and prayers. We women understand.:) Be strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience.

Maybe I'm afraid to let go and start something new for the old is still good.<br /><br />Wishing you joy and grace for your own journeys today!<br /><br />Brenda<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-72991906857247083062013-02-19T18:35:07.407-07:002013-02-19T18:35:07.407-07:00When I am feeling too scattered and drained I also...When I am feeling too scattered and drained I also pull back and inward. The phrase from the Bible often comes to me, "strengthen the things that remain." I doubt it was originally meant the way I use it, but it helps me.

But I think with me, I [unlike you] feel a bit depressed at times and I don't always know why. I sometimes loose the vision of the excitement of life--but perhaps it has more to do with the suffering I see some of my friends and family going through. I always need little reminders on a daily basis and a refocusing of my thoughts.nannykimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904490730187017812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-77440227612883643782013-02-19T10:33:59.349-07:002013-02-19T10:33:59.349-07:00i think this is the 'i'm tired of winter&#...i think this is the 'i'm tired of winter' blues!! we've had a taste of snow, cold, wind and now we have to let time pass until we are blessed with the new beginnings of spring! i think i'm listening to the same 'blues' song as you, brenda ... not sick, not depressed, just kinda 'dull'...

I know the feeling, too, of things being not quite right. <br />For me, it's as if there's something just out of reach that I can't grasp and don't even know what it is. But I trust, that in God's good time, all will be revealed - for me, and for you. It's the waiting and sorting out of feelings and expectations that can be so difficult. I'm reminded how many times we are asked to wait on the Lord. Surely waiting well is a lesson to learn that brings valuable additions to our character.<br /><br />Wishing you beauty along with the waiting.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.com
