I've Got Nothing

I wake up every morning asking the Lord what He would have me write for the day. If I have nothing I know He means for me to be still. Many sunrises I have a lot to say. Many mornings I argue with God. "Lord, I can't write that! What will people think?" Usually it is on those mornings that I feel like I will suffocate. I will loose my breath if I don't write what He has put on my heart. At the same time, it is often difficult to expose all of our fleshly imperfections. Our dirty laundry. I am trying so hard to be obedient.

Some mornings you may find there is no post. Those are the mornings He hasn't laid anything on my heart. Lately, however, He has put so much that many days I don't think I can do what He is asking of me.

elizabethcondrey.blogspot.com  has been read by over 22,000 people. I'm in awe of God. People are hurting. Families are living in silence. Evidently the Lord thought the redemption of my life will speak to someone. Or maybe it's the ridiculousness of my life that makes people feel better about themselves :-).

This week has been a week that I just didn't feel I was ready to write what God has whispered to me. Not yet. I will. Right now I need to step back and breathe. Be thankful. Grateful. Appreciative. Right now I truly need to wait on Him.

Despite their imperfections love your family unconditionally. No questions asked. Even when we can't see what God is doing behind the scenes? He is there. He is making all things new. He is preparing bounty and beauty that we can not begin to fathom. Hug your kids. Hug your spouse. Thank Him for all of it. For without it there is no story. No testimony. No living word of Christ.
