Sounds like a perfect study to be finishing as you head into the 'bluesy' times... for such a time is this! Even when God is silent - He is still ever present and doing a mighty work. I have a good friend that gets the 'winter blues' - it is a very real thing. I am doing Beth Moore's study on Daniel -her studies are life changing!<br /><br />And I am sitting here laughing that just two nights ago my husband and I switched sides of the bed! No joke! It was really for no reason except 'just because'... so ironic!<br /><br />~ChristineThe Blabbershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011734237548993687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-53542336600743316472009-12-09T02:48:40.027-05:002009-12-09T02:48:40.027-05:00What a sweet post!

It means a lot to be reminded that God is still working in our lives even when it feels like he is silent. Sometimes I ask God if he has forgotten about me, and I always feel like he is chuckling at my silliness. It is really easy to feel insignificant, but look at how many lives you touch just through your blog. You are important to the world and you make a difference in other's lives. Lately I've been praying for the grace to have more trust in His plan. I feel comforted to know that I'm not the only one with struggles. Thanks for posting this!!<br /><br />Oh! Those words by the unknown author are lines in the BarlowGirl song "I Believe in Love".

I used to feel antsy all of the time, wanting more, wanting change...but something happened and I have found contentment with the mundane...knowing each day holds the same routine, the same people I adore, the same house I have called mine, I have found peace in it...but perhaps it comes from feeling completly opposite for so long that i have come to cherish the everyday!<br />Happy Tuesday to you my dear....<br />p.s. thank you again for the cookbook...love love love it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-22862297197690790672009-12-08T17:48:10.756-05:002009-12-08T17:48:10.756-05:00I love this post.

I know for myself that when I feel that way I pray and ask God what I should be doing and He fills my heart with an action I can take to participate in the world around me. It usually comes in the form of giving to others and I think the reason for that is because God uses that feeling of waiting for something more to happen to remind me that it's not about ME, it's about Him. Thanks for sharing yourself! I really appreciate it.Heather @ Life Made Lovelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735627545669231663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-10291502741809674662009-12-08T16:24:39.970-05:002009-12-08T16:24:39.970-05:00You know, I go through the same kind of thing espe...You know, I go through the same kind of thing especially during this kind of sunless weather. That is when I begin to feel I need a shake-up and wake-up of new energy and some new adventures to look forward to. I've also realized during these kind of times that God is the only one who can fill this void. I would like to read this Beth Moore study about Esther.

There are so many days where I feel like I'm just going through the motions...cleaning up spills, changing diapers, making meals and snacks, etc. And though I know in my heat that it's not meaningless, there are days when I long for thrilling excitement. It's so important to remind ourselves that we really are here for a reason...in this time, this place, and in this life.<br /><br />I took a much-needed sabbatical from blogging and this was such a wonderful blog post to come back to.
