Unhidden

It was up until about a month ago, I had spent a few months in what could only be described as a spiritually "dry" unmomentumous (my made-up word) place in my life. A "funk" is what I was calling it. I wasn't faithless or pushing God away, just bummed out, unsatisfied, and disappointed about many things. I began to see, even at the time, God was simply just closing doors (without any view of an open one), yet complacency began to take over my heart.

I tried my best to share this with friends closest to me, and because of my usual nature, it wasn't anything they hadn't already pick up on. They knew to pray for and check in on me, offering wisdom where they could, and I knew to force myself to stay in community and service, even while it seemed everything I did felt forced and ineffective. Not a blessing at all!

Anyone ever been in this place?

I mean you know it's not good, you trust it's just for a season...and you dare not confess depression over yourself, but for me...I just didn't feel like fighting back. When God moves..I will too, or so I thought.

I found out yesterday, one of my close friends, who had been in a similar "funk" at the same time as mine, had seen me in my struggle. But even months prior to this, (which she shared with me yesterday) the Lord had showed her two people in our church (that neither of us knew well) that I would need to be in contact with. She never told me this, only prayed that God would make that happen.

She further shared that when we both fell into our funks, she was so upset because she wanted to be the one to come along side to lift me. But knowing she wasn't in a good state to do that, she began interceding on my behalf about these other two women coming forth for me as God had shown her months prior.

Meanwhile, without my having knowledge about any of this, one of those women contacted myself and the other exact person because God had placed us on her heart to meet for prayerful vision.

This began a refreshment in my Spirit that I hadn't had for..truthfully I don't know how long; well before I would have conceded to "funkfulness" or "unmomentumous" or any other made up word I could have used to cover up what God was trying to do for the great refreshment of His Spirit He had for me.

 And not just for me...EVERY person who feels like they must be missing something or should be fighting back, not worthy of hearing from God; feeling like NOTHING you do seems like enough.

Oh how we are never lost from His sight! Oh how He uses the most selfless of brothers and sisters to stand in the gap for us even while they too are low!

And oh how inspired I am today, to realize at no place in our walk of strength or weakness are we not being used and called according to His purpose as we keep our trust fully in Him. He has already connected the dots and His yolk is easy...we are not doing it wrong!!! Praise you Jesus!!! Let us anticipate your outpouring!
