Sometimes God tells us to stop . . . and wait. To put the brakes on all of our own ideas and dreams and wants and asks us to just sit quietly, listen to His voice, and stay there until He says stand again.
And our discipline muscle is stretched. We really don’t want to sit and wait because if we don’t move how will anything move, progress, gain momentum, or go forward?
Therein lies the problem. The reason for the stop and the wait. No longer are His purposes being fulfilled through us, but instead we are trying to fulfill our purposes and asking Him to just agree.
So gently He nudges us to stop and wait. We can either ignore Him or discipline ourselves to obey.
That is where I am right now. God is asking me to take a break from blogging for about a month to {Re}Focus. For me it is a blessing that He would lead me so specifically and stop me before I go too far off on my own. After all, my One Word for 2012 is Focus! It’s important to discipline myself to keep my One Word relevant throughout the year.
I will have a few guest bloggers post throughout the month, and I am very grateful for them and excited to see how God leads their writing! If you are interested in guest posting, please contact me at triplebraidedlife{at}gmail{dot}com.
I also have a book review that you do not want to miss coming very soon!
Thank you for sharing this space with me and for being a reader of Triple Braided. If it comes to your mind, I would love your prayers for where God is leading me in blogging, writing, and ministry.
