Somewhere in the Middle

Hi Friends! 

I have been lacking in my posts lately…my apologies!

I hope everyone had a great Easter!  Our Lord has Risen!

I have heard from so many of you in the recent days and weeks, all commenting on my blog, and …a little guilt fell over me.  I haven’t been consistent with it, to be honest; it’s a reflection of where I’ve been in the last month- Do you know the song, “Somewhere in the Middle”, by Casting Crowns?   If you don’t know the song- take a listen

This song is where I am at in my journey.  Somewhere between the new and the old, somewhere between who I am and who I use to be, somewhere between my faith and my plans, somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more…Somewhere in the middle you’ll find me!

I don’t know that I have an inspiring blog to share today…I am feeling a little stuck.  Isn’t it crazy for me to write those words?  I have a family who is supportive beyond belief, friends who are uplifting, and a God that provides comfort.  But, yet I am feeling stuck in the middle.  How, why? 

I have been spending so much time volunteering and getting involved in so many great causes, I have spent time alone in complete silence, I have read the Word, I have sat across dear friends and shed tears, I have laughed with many, and am embracing life…yet I am feeling a little stuck.  I am trying so hard to be patient, while continuing to network for the right next opportunity.  I believe that God will lead and prompt me to what is right.  During this journey, I have learned so much, and I also know that I am not willing to just take any opportunity that is presented, and to truly prayerfully consider the next thing.  Truly, that has been the hardest part- saying No, but wanting it so badly to fill a void to be able to have purpose.  But it wasn’t the right thing- so patiently I wait. 

I do know that the day is coming, I do know that God prepares his children for the glory that is to come, so I wait.  Feeling stuck…maybe, but sharing the stuck with you definitely is what I needed today to feel the HOPE!

Isaiah 40:31
Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.
