Scattered

For the last few days, I’ve been trying to come up with something to write about, and my mind has felt like a blank canvas. Actually it’s felt more like a canvas covered in about 30 different kinds of paint and ripped up in little pieces. I realized today that I feel very “scattered” with everything in my life, and I don’t know why.

I’m not sure where this scattered feeling is coming from. There’s nothing particularly stressful in my life right now, and things have actually been going pretty well in most areas. It just seems like I took everything in my life and just threw it all up in the air and I’m waiting for it to come down. I’ve been struggling with finding quality time to pray to God and study my bible, even though I was very excited to get a new Greek-Hebrew Key Word Study Bible. I’ve felt flustered at work, and even somewhat flighty when I’m at church volunteering.

I don’t know exactly where this is coming from, and I’ve been feeling like I’m just floating around without a lot of purpose right now, but I have to trust God, and during this time I’ve been reminded of Jeremiah 29:11, which says:

I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.

So I guess I’m trusting in God that I’ll come out of this scattered fog and He’ll show me what He has planned for me.

So how are you feeling so far in this new year? Do you feel like things are going well in your life right now? How can we pray for you?
