Funny. An hour before I got this email, I had talked to Laura about just giving up. I have been trying so hard on so many fronts that I am tired. I have not been getting up early with the LORD. I try my best to please my wife and love her. I try on the job front and elevate29 and Nehemiah Ventures. I try with my kids.
I try. I try. I try.
And, it just seems to go no where.
So I give up. God can handle it from here.
And, this is what I got:
I believe the Lord gave me a word this am for you…..
He was saying that you are looking for something, but straining so hard to see it. Lay it down, go play, relax.. defy the corporate mentality that says you have to press harder and just go play…. have fun…. find that pocket of joy….. and in that the revelation will bubble up. It’s ‘right there’ but you will not see if by straining or forcing your eyes to see. It will be so obvious when you see it and a total, ‘Duh!’ moment…. but you will see it when you are fully engaged in joy and rest.
