It started yesterday,and today (Sunday) I feel disconnected somehow...I felt this way several weeks ago as I sat in church service. I did not feel a spirit of joy. I was not lighthearted. I felt a heavy weight. I prayed that if I had been disobedient or a disappointment in anyway, then in Jesus name, please forgive me. The feeling in me did not change for a few days.
When I woke up this morning, I was running late, tired, frustrated with both of my daughters, frustrated with some trials going on in my life, and I have recently been let down by a couple of friends. Right now, I'm feeling overwhelmed with feeling like a failure.

So, what to do? Well, I'm going to take my own advice...I'm going to get out my Bible. I'm going to spend some one on one time for the next hour doing what I've kinda been lazy about. When I'm done and I've put on my full suit of God's armour, I'll be ready to face the roller coaster knowing that putting my faith, trust, loving Him and putting Him front and center where He belongs will calm the storm.

I believe that sometimes, His Spirit is quiet and He let's us feel this way to draw us nearer to Him.
So next time you feel beat down, perhaps He wants to draw you near to give you peace in the storm allowing you to feel His perfect love and joy...

Sometimes life gets us down. Your response is the best I can think of.

When the going gets tough, what do you do?

You pray about it... and you pray HARDER than you ever had before.

Things are really looking bad for us.. my son is ok. He just turned 6months yesterday. And he is in perfect health!

Other areas of my life... not so much.

So prayers would be appreciated my friends.

Thank you and God bless. ❤️

My eyes are not healing as expected. I have ghosting vision prety bad (double vision) it looks as if they may have to go back and redo the procedure. But they have to wait awhile. so I will have to suffer for a month or more. It could be something as little as dry eye. either way, Prayers would be appreciated.

I will say a prayer for your vision to be restored. In the meantime, I'm sorry that you have to suffer.
