Believe Me - This Is Not A Repeat

Yes, this will definitely by a short post but guess what....I'm extremely excited that I'm back focused and dedicated to continue this very valuable blog.

As one can see by the latest post stamp, it has been more than a  year that I went into hiatus. Sorry gang for not hanging my "Blogger on Hiatus"signage while I had to step away but as they, "When its time to go, it's time to go!"

I have experienced a very crucial time in my life that required me to pull back from quite a bit of activity. I was "seeking God as never before" on clarity for my life and what that would look like.

Never before had I experienced such discontent...so much so, the dissatisfaction invaded my sleep, my waking moments, it all but consumed me. I had to go into a personal sabbatical seeking only for God, seeking only to know the relevance of His word in my life, seeking to find the blueprint that would take me from glory to glory in Him. I came to a place where I needed Him and "only" Him did I need or desire. i had become utterly dissatisfied with all my life was encompassing at the time and it became a struggle to find any joy any longer in any thing that I was doing. I had truly entered the Twilight Zone of the mundane.

His World For Us

As with sabbatical, the individualized plan one uses that leads into the mysteries of God toward ones' life and lifestyle requires determined stillness and focus. I stress this word determined so much so because one can be so easily pulled away from this search when one is unable to retreat in seclusion.

When you are still where the phone rings, when your locale is still open and available to all, when you are surrounded by the same noise, temptations, distractions, and dissatisfaction, yet, retreat can be sought and produced in many forms. From staying in bedrooms, booking hotel rooms for any number of nights, driving up the highway and staring out into the horizon, opening a book, magazine or whatever you have only for your mind to travel far-far away only to sit at the feet of God and be filled. Be taught. Be guided. Be directed. So much so, that one would hate to return. But you must.

And so it is - I've returned. Now back to dialoguing. Now back to discussing what I learned, what I experienced, what was revealed and finally, what I can share with you. Stay tuned!
