In a Funk

I'm in a funk. Knowing God is not finished with us, but wanting to know NOW what His plan is. Ever felt that way?


This week I'm dealing with loss all over again (another post for another day). In addition to that, we're dealing with strong emotions that come with knowing your sweet angel will soon have open heart surgery. Staying outwardly strong is something I'm good at.....all the while inside my own heart aches. Fear is creeping in. And I know who "fear" belongs to.
For Lent this year I am focusing on prayer. I used to be so disciplined in keeping my prayer journal and what a blessing it was! I loved being able to look back and see the exact prayers that God answered. Truly amazing! I am so ashamed to say that I have allowed other things to take it's place. But NO MORE! I am focusing on prayer this Lenten season, starting a new prayer journal and listening for our Father.
This guy continues to be my steady hand. Thank you, God, for putting him in my life.

Just after sneaking up on the kids with snowballs!

In Him,

E

I do know what you mean. I know God has something up His sleeve for us. But what and when is being kept a secret.
I am very thankful for lent this year. I too am concentrating on prayer.And listening.
