Taking a Break to Reflect

I am reminded time and again that my love language is "words of encouragment." Was grappling with a distraction that has been griping the very core of my being the last 2 months. Was trying to convince myself that my faith was strong and I was able to handle the inner turmoil brewing inside of me. It was not to be. In fact, calm as I may appear on the outside, my thoughts were constantly being drawn away by that very distraction.

Last week, I finally had enough of the inner turmoil brewing inside of me. Having read Joshua Harris' book on a related topic before, I searched the net for his materials and was pleasantly surprised to find what I was looking for. Downloaded a couple of his sermons and listened to them as I worked. My soul and spirit man resonated with every word that was preached. Amens just rosed up with every truth that I heard. My soul was hungry as it soaked up every spiritual and practical insight that Josh Harris spoke. An immediate release expoloded into my soul. A great relief! I purposed on that day that I was to shift my focus and choose not to be distracted but wait upon God's perfect timing for His promise to come to pass.

Indeed, the Lord knew just how to distract me from my distraction! Words of encouragement!
