I'd also like to remind people that not feeling a special "God moment" when reading scripture doesn't always mean you are detached from God or unsaved. God wants us to be sober minded, sometimes feeling to much of one thing can make us drunk into thinking we always must feel that way when it's not true. While the Bible is beautiful it doesn't need a spark in your heart and mind all of the time, sometimes it is making choice to memorize the scripture and seeing how God wishes you to apply it in your life without using your feelings. In a way I think it is to show not everything has to be an "A-ha" moment, and God maybe trying to discipline you so you don't just go with "A-ha" moment but with the the Scripture and not the feelings you get from it. Joy comes from God, but so does wisdom and discernment, so does discipline. Sometimes we need one more than another in our lives in a season. God hasn't left you my friend, He's just molding you, what a beautiful thing it is. Sometimes we need to learn Jesus is our one true Joy, not the world or the people in it. They are rather lovable blessings God has given in our lives. People give joy but they aren't our eternal or true joy, that is Jesus or KING. Idk if this makes sense, I just think it could help you. God bless. Tell me if you think I'm wrong.

SO TRUE!! I've been trying to figure out what GOD wants me to do for the longest. It seems he leads me to little clues but I wish I knew the whole plan and can see the entire puzzle put together. But then it always occurs to me, if I knew the challenges that lie ahead to accomplish GOD"s will, It may seem overwhelming and I may not want to embrace those challenges, therefore leaving the full task undone. It's good to take it one step at a time to get GOD's task accomplished.

This is so much more than dating which I think is the hook that many of us came with. But He cares about all the things of our heart and this video is such an amazing testament to trusting Him. I think Tim Keller said that if we knew everything that God knew, we would only want what He wants. May our wisdom and knowledge grow in that.

The agonizing confusion, for me, happens when despite what I do (all within God's will) circumstances in my life don't get better. For example, my husband leaves me and our 4 month old daughter, which then forces me into the workforce. This creates a domino affect which is all not good for the next 10 years, maybe more as the stress causes more confusion and likely then poor choices after that. Either way, I've concluded that God did use this to teach me more about Himself, and draw me closer to Him. I'm grateful for that.
