Too deep for a Wednesday.

Do you ever feel like there’s something really fantastic waiting just within your reach, but you’re not being allowed to go and get it? I’ve been feeling that way for a while now.  Probably the past several months.  Like I’m just hovering in one spot and no matter how I might try to move this way or that, something is holding me where I am.  Maybe it’s just me subconsciously holding myself in a place that feels safe… but more likely it’s God keeping me here.  For whatever reason, there’s something I haven’t learned or haven’t finished or haven’t encountered yet.  Perhaps the thing I feel like I’m waiting for isn’t what I think it is… maybe it’s not what I want at all. Maybe what’s coming is so much better than I could have ever dreamed and I just have to be still… and know…

If you’re feeling this way too, take comfort in knowing that you’re not alone.  I don’t have any answers for you, but I can stand beside you.

*sigh* so that’s what’s on my heart today. If you just unfollowed me, I totally understand :)

Do not worry, change takes time. I believe it will happen when we are fully ready. I hope it does soon for you. Its no fun having the stuck feeling. All my best to you, and try a margarita or chocolate, that helps me deal! hehe... I like the saying

What will be will be.

Definitely not alone. Stuck, tethered, anchored. This is my most reoccurring emotion lately. But chocolate does help, and watching Audrey Hepburn movies!

i feel the same exact way and you have expressed it so excellently! thanks! i don't know how to fix it but keep doing things that make me happy, like sew, thrift shop for my etsy, embroider and go on many many bike rides! also i have something in the works but haven't had the meeting yet to confirm if it is deal or not so i am in limbo right now and i am trying not to think about it and get my hopes up...thinking positive always makes things happen :)

have a great day!

Yes, last night was, in a word, amazing. We do feel extremely encouraged. I still can't really believe that it happened, but I know it did. I am so glad we were able to share the experience with our C-Group, too! And we are both excited about all the amazing things just waiting in the wings to happen for our C-Group.

I know *exactly* how you feel. Sometimes I feel snail-like: moving *very, very* slowly... Urg! So here's me. Standing in line with you. Waiting. With a hug :)

Oh girl - I know exactly what you mean. I feel that way a lot lately.
Strength in numbers, friend.
