Unfortunately, the title of this post is a reflection of where I am. Partly because I have had a busy 6 month schedule and have not adequately replenished myself along the way. I am taking Isaiah 44:1-5 to heart and especially verse 3, "For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants." Only I need God's Spirit poured out over my body!
I have recognized in myself that the busier I am the less I depend on His Spirit and that must change. I will be spending more time listening rather than doing. I am also challenging myself to begin reading the gospels with fresh eyes and without any pretenses. I have been in the ministry, in various roles, for 15 years. I am guilty of reading scripture through other people's lenses. I am going to make every attempt to remove those lenses and read the gospels as if it was the first time. I will post my discoveries here.
