Lengthening Silence

As I commented in the last topic I have been undergoing some changes. I wrote that I am waiting for God to breathe something new into my life rather than trying to fill it myself. Thanks Doug for your comment. In the past two weeks I have spent less than eight hours on the computer. I use to spend eight hours a day. I don’t quite understand what I am going through. Perhaps God has been priming the pump. It isn’t a good place where I am at… except when I go out and talk to God. This is the reason for the lengthening silence on my blog.

I ask for your prayers, though I don’t know what particularly to request. All I do know is that your prayers will help. Thanks.

    Well Joe, I wondered where you have been. Haven’t broken bread with you for several weeks now. But sure am glad to know you’re alive: was about to send some roses. I think we all go through a wilderness once in a while. I’ve always said that there are only two constants in life—God and Change. So your habits were for a season and now they’re changing. One thing I’m thankful for, my friend, is that God is in your wilderness with you. If He wasn’t, I’d have to pray extra hard. But, since you still ” go out and talk to God “, I know you’ll be Ok. So now I will just say normal prayers for you.
    Blessings

    🙂 I am thankful for your normal prayers Don… your abnormal prayers may not fit this circumstance that I am in. Then again, perhaps they would.

    hahaha

    Car 54 where are you?

  6. Hi Dougie… now you know why I titled the piece “Lengthening Silence.”

    It isn’t because I am ignoring things. More time is being spent in prayer… walks… drives…

    Today on the 700 club I heard about soaking prayer. Put your agenda aside and simply rest in the presence of God. Well I guess I been doing a bit of that as well over the past few months.

    This process that I am on isn’t according to some plan. It is just seeing what the Lord will touch upon next. It seems to be taking a long time but that is because his touch is gentle.

    If I am not careful, I could become a “normal” Christian… which actually is what I would like to be. At least for a season.

    Well, you are missed here, but sounds like your time is being well-spent!

    Glad you’re ok. Keep soaking. That sounds like a good idea. Maybe I’ll try some of that.
