When The Well Runs Dry…

That title actually has a couple of meaning this morning. As I drove myself to work this morning it kind of hit how spiritually dry I feel today. This comes from the lack of reading and morning quite time I’ve had for most of the week. Oh how I long for those days of having a couple hours before I head off to work to enjoy the morning and spend some time in the word. And to the times I had to read a chapter in a good book before I drifted off to sleep. These are things I’m really hoping to get back in my routine. It’s basically come to light that I am a total creature of habit/routine. Once I can get into a rythm things are pretty good, but it’s trying to get out of a rythm, or maybe even it’s old self, that’s where things are tough. I think I’m seeing a little bit of a spiritual battle going on here. I so want to be in the Word daily, filling myself up, but the things going on in my life are just doing all they can to keep me from that. I have to make the decision to just forget about what’s going on in my life right now, an just get back to God.

The other small relation to the title is the fact that it’s been so long since my last blog post. I’ve probably lost my audience, as little as it is/was but that is fine. My blog was never intended to my pouring out to others, even though it’s maybe become that. For me if just feels good to be writing and really thinking about what’s going on in my life. This is something this is apart of the Learning Circle, you know the Life Shapes, and I’ve come to find how much truth and life there is in those shapes. Well, I’ve cut into my work time a bit so off I go.

  • Overall Good One…

    Ok, so things at work were pretty good. I realize that my expectations of what I want to get done are perhaps slightly too high, and I get distracted easily which also prevents me getting done all that I want to. I’m certain that I’ve got some slight case of ADD. Todd took Bruce Stumbo & I out for lunch at God Father’s. Good pizza, and I got dessert pizza this time too! We talked about the FFP website project and how that was going. I explained that there could easily be enough work for me to do just web & IT work. They both of course agreed. It’s too bad I can devote more time to that as there is so much more that…

    Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done…

    “…on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread…” As I read these words and the pages that went with them, in “The Passionate Life”, it was pretty obvious God was speaking to me concerning my evening. While I’m so thankful for all that God continues to teach me, I feel a small sense that perhaps He has other plans for me then the opportunity to share this life with someone else. I will be honest in that my heart feels a little torn. Not so much because of anyone else, only because it seems that the verse I have claimed and have placed at the top of my blog is truely being lived out in my life. This is…
  • What Is A Church?

    As given to me by someone else: A church is a local expression of the global and historical body of Christ where: ¬∑ People intentionally share life together. It is a spiritual community where life‚Äôs resources are joined together, people are expected and are equipped to be vulnerable and accountable with one another, and the community and the needs of those inside and outside the community are met. (Acts 4:32-34, 2:42-47) ¬∑ Worship is experienced. God is central, God‚Äôs worth is lifted high, and Jesus is worship as God. It brings people into the meeting of heaven and earth, and calls the believer to live life for the reality that awaits. (Romans 12:1-2, Rev.4:5-21) ¬∑ Ministry takes place. Ministry is a natural outpouring and result…

  1. Hey Tim,

    Wow. You write with such honesty… thats an awesome gift; even if you cant see that right now.
    There is nothing more important than your time with God, he longs to have that relationship that you can call him “Daddy” my dear Friend, I say this speaking to myself as well, so dont feel as if I’m pointing fingers but maybe we both need to re prioritize our lives. Even with work. We shove God off in wanting more time on the computer, more time with friends… whatever, when really we should do it the other way around. You know this already, but know tht you are not alone, and that I will be praying that you find tht time and that unquenchable desire to spend time with Dad more than anyone or thing else. Stay faithful and remember that God is right there willing to fight this spiritual battle along with you… we just have to let Him.
    Be refreshed with His water
