We're mid-way through the year, and I'm just wondering how everyone is doing with their words? I won't lie, the last several weeks I've been in a bit of a "blah" mood. Makes being fervent a tad hard when you can't even rouse much more than an "eh" over things.
But I've recently been reminded that we don't follow our feelings, we follow our God. And while the blahs haven't left yet, I can still pray with a fervency and power that is attached to him. A fervency that he ignites regardless of my feelings. A fervency that looses here on earth what is in Heaven. And eventually these lovely, incredibly human feelings will follow if I just don't give up!
So I wonder, have any of you hit a stumbling block with your One Word for this year? I know so many who started the year with a passion and direction, so for those of us who may need an aid station about now in this race, check-in and know I'm praying for you:)
It took me a while to select One Word, but eventually I chose "Shine". And I just love when something in daily life reminds me of Jesus' light, of the light I am to be, and so many others. Thanks for the challenge
