I just reached home from dinner with two friends. Throughout the evening I have been feeling rather down. In my last blog, I wrote the title as "God's Plan Is Always Good." I have been seeking Him for His will in some areas of my life. Sometimes I wonder what is He really doing with me. I am puzzled and frustrated.
Sometimes I feel like giving up once and for all the pursuits of certain aspects of my life. Basically to stop dreaming and being hopeful. "What is the point?" is the question I am asking. I still hold in my heart this belief that whatever God is doing with my life is for my good but sometimes it is hard to see it that way when certain areas are just not happening.
I guess I am tired. I guess I am expecting too much to the point where I get disappointed. I guess I am not trusting God enough. Lately my life's journey is like that. "Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me." The words of this song has been my prayer to the Lord many times.
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:1-2

One of my most favorite verse and so terribly hard to enforce! How often I think I have it all straight and then something else in my life which is more a product of our fallen culture than my Christian walk.
sigh.
