These last few months have been very hard for me. I lost someone very dear to me. But I know that even in death, God is glorified. He prepared her for what was to come. I also am in school, the summer months are gone, the fall is here, lots of trials and tribulations have come to those close to me. My spirit feels tired. I feel like my soul needs a revival. During this time of despair, I realize that God is still at work in me!
I go to a Women’s Bible Study on Alternate Saturdays and we are reading a book called, “Resting In Him” by Women of Faith. It’s been an eye opener for me. It talks about the different seasons you go through in your life. There are fall, spring, summer and winter seasons in our life. Just as the natural seasons change, our spiritual life changes. We talked about the times we felt closest to God. And oddly enough, the times that I felt closest to God were the times that I was in deep despair. I felt that He was right there because I needed Him. I couldn’t go on without Him. Anyway, I said all of this to say that I feel that God is doing something new in me, something new in my church and in the hearts of His people. I have hope that He will revive my spirit. I know that everything is not going to be good all of the time, but I have hope that He is at work in me. I have no other choice.
