Pardon My Lack Of Eloquence

Sometimes I really have nothing to say, but I go ahead and say it anyway.
Maybe that's a problem. I'm not sure.

My mind has been over innumerable roller coasters the past few weeks and I haven't even had the chance to sort out the thoughts that escaped in the process of flying over each bumpy hill. My head has been so jumbled--it's a struggle for me to think clearly each day and put together my constant to-do list. I think I my poor brain needs a rest. I should sneak a nap (so to speak) on that to-do list somewhere.

I seldom stop to be still. To be quiet. To rest. To just stop in the midst of my days and close my eyes and relax. And to meditate on God's word and his promises. For as a person as impatient, and ambitious, and active as I am, I shouldn't be surprised at how hard that is. But then again, I tend to surprise myself.

It's been a while since I've physically and emotionally ached this much. I am downright tired. So, instead of my offering you my usual advice (that is aside from telling you to take a break every once in a while and not get to the state I'm in), I'm asking for yours.

Yes, I said it.

I need advice, support, inspiration-- any spiritual tidbit that will lift my spirits and get me out of the dry, hot desert I'm in. I'm not looking for a life-changing speech, I just need encouragement.

I apologize for my lack of eloquence.
I'm at a loss for any further words.

  1. Sometimes it helps to know that you aren't the only one who feels low; and your willingness to be honest is a way sisters in Christ can help each other. Run to the Psalms and read them slowly, Ps. 24 is a good place to start. Remember how much the Savior loves you; and someone is praying for you tonight. You are precious to Him; and He knows what you are thinking - so no words are needed! -a new blog follower
