I have so very many things going for me right now...
I have my health, my family, my friends, my job, my condo, my car, my faith...
There is no explanation for the funk.
Maybe I'm expecting some great miracle or revelation given the season?
I honestly don't know.
It makes absolutely no sense.
I don't really "want" anything.
This funk I'm in...totally...makes...no...sense.
So, here I am listening to a podcast by Craig Groeschel. It's resonating with me and I feel the need to share some things from it.
- God's delays in responding for what we ask for/pray about are not God's denial of those things.
- Because He hasn't answered your prayer now, doesn't mean that He will not answer it.
- It could be a Divine Delay - it may not be now because He has to do something in us before he does something for us.
- During the wait, God gives us patience, teaches us to call on Him, to press into Him, to walk by faith and not by sight, to trust Him anyway, that His ways are higher than ours....
- Sometimes He has to do something in us before He does something through us. Divine Delay.
- Sometimes He has to do something in us before He does something for us. Divine Delay.
- If God always meets our expectations, then He would never have the opportunity to exceed them.
- A waiting season is not a wasted season.
- God works through situations we are in to be glorified by them.
- The things we want aren't always as good as the things God has planned for us.
- Our greatest disappointment may become the setting of God's greatest miracle for us which exceeds all of our expectations.

Sad to say, as good as it was, the podcast did nothing for my current state of being.
I'm still in a funk.
I still have no clue what's next.
I still have no understanding of the place I am in.
But...
I truly know that God is with me.
I truly trust in God to bring me through this.
I truly know that this season is not wasted.
I truly know that God is busy doing some kind of work in me.
I truly know that my waiting is going to be worth it.

Two things:
1. In your list of things going for you, you forgot to mention you have #6..so there's that.
2. Enlightenment is often not instant or even quick. It takes time for what you just learned to sink in and make a difference in your life. Give it a couple days - that funk will lift!!
Betty's #2 makes a lot of sense to me. We need to be still in the Lord. If you listen closely enough you can almost hear Him breathe life into you. Don't expect to know the why just BE with our Lord.
