Ever find yourself in a spiritual drought?

Wow...it's hard to believe it has been over four months since my last blog post! I have to say I have really missed being on here because I feel like blogging gives me an opportunity to regurgitate the things God is doing in my life.

I have to be honest. Over the past few months I have experienced what one might call a "drought" in their spiritual life. Over the course of the past few weeks, God has opened my eyes to how important His Kingdom is and reminded me that the sole purpose of my existence is to make His name known to others. Shamefully, I have seemed to forgotten this truth that should dominate everything I say, do, and think. While I could make a list of to-dos on how to "dig myself a well" and exit this drought, I know that it is not something I can do by myself. I know this drought is a result of me being focused on my selfish ambitions rather than Jesus's love for me, so there is no way I can "hydrate" by my own strength....and praise the Lord for that. 

In addition to spending more time with the Lord, I have decided to re-read/finish a book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I began the book last year at this time but never completely finished it. Because the book focuses on the unmeasurable and yes, crazy love we have been shown through Jesus Christ and I know that is the direction my heart and thoughts need, I thought it was a good time to read the book.

Here is a short two-minute video that goes along with the book....If you, like myself, find yourself, wanting to read more, I would encourage you to pick up a copy of Crazy Love. I only have one copy but when I am finished, you are more than welcome to borrow mine!

Have a wonderful Monday!
