Something is really going on in my life lately, my friends.
The only problem is, I really don't know what that something is.
Everything feels unsettled right now. There are so many issues between which, at this moment, I am balancing a very narrow tightrope; and I don't know yet on which side I am going to fall off. Many of them are the topics of almost-written posts.
Femininity, bitterness and submission. Head coverings. Dieting and body image. Internet addiction. Movies, music and the Christian. The cesspool of opinions on attractions, crushes, lust, and genuine love, as they relate to an utterly single girl.
And running underneath these cerebral concerns is a vague feeling of unsettledness, like something really good or really bad is about to happen. My romantic side thinks it's an omen or a message from God ... my brain figures it's probably just anxiety from eating poorly, spending way too much time online and not sleeping or exercising enough. Either way, nothing quite feels right lately.
Maybe if I got off of Blogger and got some fresh air, that would help ... :-P
Love and hugs,
Vicki
I would love to talk to you more about this as I have been in the same place. Do you have an email I can contact you by?
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by, M.! I don't normally give out my email address, but you're welcome to leave another comment if you would like. I'm glad you came by, and hope my blog will be a blessing to you!
DeleteLove in Christ,

I definitely know the feeling...I've been in the same place several times. In the end, I usually find that taking a step back, taking a deep breath, and turning to the Word, is what works to get me settled again.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well for you, and you're able to catch your footing.(:
Blessings,

Fresh air is always a good thing. :) I know the feeling you're talking about though...I think last time I had that kind of feeling was the year before I was accepted into medical school...though nothing in particular really happened that year...and the time before that my brother got engaged. XD So I don't know how connected those things were; it was a pretty vague unsettledness, lol. ;) But I hope you get some sleep/exercise/healthy habits going...(oy, the internet makes going to bed early difficult...*cough* all definitely things I'm working on myself. :P) Be still and know that He is God...and rest in that. :)
ReplyDeleteThen again, sometimes we want to sit and watch God work things out, saying like Moses "The Lord will fight for you," while God is saying, "Wherefore criest thou unto me? Go forward." Exodus 14 has always fascinated me because of that...I think that's a verse I will past above my desk this fall, to remind myself to study. :)
Praying you will know whether to wait and let God direct or if He is prompting you to step out! *HUGS*
