I'm NOT the ENERGIZER bunny, I can't keep going & going & going RIGHT?

"When you feel tired, drained, empty, hopeless and helpless, it just means that you need to Rebuke, Regroup, and more importantly Refuel your SPIRIT!"~Status Shuffle

I have been reading devotional after devotional trying to search for some sort of inspiration for this blog, & where do I find it you ask....... Via FACEBOOK! I absolutely appreciate that God has a such GREAT sense of humor!
It's funny how something as simple as a quote that was meant for someone’s status, can sum up my week so perfectly! I remember reading on a church sign somewhere, “a WEEK without prayer makes one WEAK!” well add that with the quote of the day, & you can feel how high my spirits are right about now. I need to get some ONE on ONE time with GOD! Wow this is new for me, admitting a weakness……. I can feel the stress at the tip of my fingertips as I pour out my hearts truths. I would say in all fairness that I am a pretty positive person, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have my moments. I’m emotionally, physically, & spiritually drained! Have you ever felt vulnerable, like at any moment you may just break down & cry, without warning, &/OR especially…….without reason? What’s the cure for that? Some turn to Alcohol, other’s turn to drugs, & there are those that turn to God. I’ve heard that with drugs & alcohol after so long your body becomes immune, & that’s when addicts turn to much more dangerous addictions…….BUT……. I find it extremely calming that all’s I have to remember are the words of 1PETER 5:7 “cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you”! I just sit in AMAZE as I think of how BIG God’s shoulders must be, as he carries all of our worries, so we don’t have to.
I‘m a hardcore believer that God always places you exactly where you need to be, when you need to be there! With that said I also feel that God will let you know, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW, when you need to know it. With that said, I was guided to this devotional: “Isaiah, deals here with two truths we should be aware of to be able to defend our ourselves against weariness and to manage our risks. The first is the obvious truth, that every one grows weary. As we already said, even the fittest and healthiest young person does. The second truth is a deeper and most important truth and faith reality, that, as we learn to trust and expectantly wait on the Lord, we tap into his inexhaustible strength. Are we willing to remain sick and tired of being sick and tired, or, are we willing to learn about how to, through faith and trust in God, manage our energy, challenges and risks through a living relationship with the Lord?”
-Emerging Braken……. Well oh well, isn’t that HANDY DANDY……. The entire purpose of MY New Year’s resolution, was to take my relationship with Our Heavenly Father to the next level……. So he’s definitely trying to tell me something here, am I willing to learn through faith to TRUST in GOD to MANAGE my ENERGY! I’m full of excuses, (just ask my Family & Best Friends) It’s time to MAN up & stop allowing the concept of exhaustion to be my EXCUSE.
So let me make another proclamation: This next coming week, I’m not going to allow myself to be exhausted, so then I shall have NO EXCUSE……. I’m going to get closer with God, & I’m not going to be TIRED doing it!!!!!!!
