It's been a long while since I've posted anything, but....I'm in the mood to talk (and that's rare), and I don't have anyone to talk to. So if you all don't mind, I would like to share a few thoughts with you today.

Here lately, I have been so preoccupied with my thoughts on how I'm living for the Lord. You know, my witness and if people can see Jesus in my life, even if I don't utter a single word. And I wonder how God sees me. Is He pleased with my life or is He disappointed in my daily walk with Him? I have been so consumed with just really wanting to please Him, that I think most times, I am missing the mark/point! I read my Bible daily. I pray daily, all throughout the day and yet, I feel so distant from Him. There are days when I don't feel that I connect with Him at all. And I often wonder if it's something that I'm doing or not doing, that's got me feeling this way? Is it a sin that I have overlooked or have yet to deal with? Most days, I spend alone, and let me you, my thoughts can really run amuck, if I linger on any one thing for too long. But still, I feel this "void". Like I'm missing something. And I can't put my finger on what? The more I read my Bible and the harder I pray, the answer just isn't forthcoming. In a lot of ways, I think it could be fear, that has me feeling this way. Not fear of the unknown or dying, but fear of facing the rest of this journey alone. Without anyone standing in my corner. And no one really understands. And I feel it. I feel alone.

Ok. I'm done. Thanks for listening.

Hi,
I think we need not to analyze our ever move but just seek his face and all this will be added to you.
Upon your reading, look into Grace and just see how awesome it is.
I enjoyed you post.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
(NJKV)

Its good to want to please God, but you should not be afraid or paranoid! Fear of making a mistake is going to get in the way of your Relationship with Him! If you make a mistake, God will be right there with open arms to forgive you. Just seek Him, give Him your allegiance, and walk with Him without worrying if you trip!
And if by chance there is something, a sin, you have not dealt with, or something in your life that needs to go, God will reveal it to you in His perfect timing.

My dear Brother and my loving Sister, GBU!

Sorry it took me so long to respond back, but my computer was sick and had to go to the hospital So, I was without internet service for a while.

Thank you both for your words of wisdom and encouragments. I don't know what my problem is, really. All I know is, that something just doesn't feel quite "right".

I will continue to wait on God and let Him reveal whatever He wants to reveal to me, whenever He sees fit to reveal it!

Hope you all and everybody here, had a wonderful easter!
