Lift me up

Ever feel like you are just going through the motions of this life? We all do at some point. I have to admit I have been in this rut lately but I still seek and pray. When I do, I am always directed to get back into God's word. Whether I "feel" like it or not. Being in the Word I am always reminded of the joy and love I feel when I remain close with God. I remember where my inspiration for writing comes from and remain hopeful for brighter days like those that I often wrote about. It is also then that I remember that no matter what He is always there and will never leave me.

The Bible, church,family, fellowship with others, and prayer are like that of the Fire ladder you see here. They offer the strength to lift you up when you can't on your own. Like my last post - I am reminded to always seek or find the light, for if I don't my eyes, mind, and heart will remain idle. I admit that I had to remind myself again today that no, I cannot do this on my own. My savior is the one who saves, and I need to remember He is the one I rely on - not myself. 

I was reading a fellow blogger's post today that lifted my spirits back up and encouraged me - I am so grateful for being able to follow and read other people's experiences in their walk whether that be on their blog, through devotionals, or even Facebook. A lot of times this is the only way I feel comfortable to communicate with others during times like this. This big world can make you feel so alone when you choose to just go through the motions and find yourself eventually falling out of seeking the Lord. I am thankful for being lifted up - especially when I need it most.
