I never really share personal stuff on this blog, but I feel I should write what I am feeling this morning. You don’t have to read it, but I feel I need to share it. I am definitely not a writer and do not pretend to be, so here it is. God is stirring my soul this morning! WOW, I can barley type! Last night at church Pastor Chris said he felt that he received the Word from God, maybe it was prophetic and that maybe it was for just one person. Well, I know it touched me and I have stopped feeling something inside of me. The title, “Fanning the Flame of God”, not letting the external determine the internal, but let the internal determine the external! He challenged us to four things, 1. Renew our Passion for Christ, 2. Renew our Passion for Prayer, 3. Renew our Passion for Purity, 4. Renew our Passion for People. I sometimes think I am letting God have control, but this morning I feel like he is really asking me to let go and let him take it from here. Bo and I have been praying that God will show us where it is he wants us to be. Sometimes we feel like we have been left hanging around for almost a year now, waiting to hear from him and have been struggling lately. Once we were in our car on our way home we began talking….and praying…..and stayed up really late. In fact, Bo must have been stirred up too, because he forgot to set his alarm clock and over sleep this morning, lol! God is The Almighty and All Powerful! I want Jesus to be the Lover of MY soul! I know I let this world get in the way and get side tracked by worrying over things that truly do not matter! I want to be filled with prayer, not just when I ask the blessing at meals or when I lay my head on my pillow at night. I want to know that I can pray the way God wants me to pray. Bring it all to him continuously. 1 Thellalonians 5:17 “pray without ceasing,”. I want to be pure and spiritual. Romans chapter 8 “Life in the Spirit”, it is a great! I also want to focus on my relationships. God has put amazing people in my life! I know this is scattered if you have read this far, but I just feel I should put this out there. Please pray that God will let Bo and I know what and where he would have us do and go. We are willing, but we definitely can’t figure this out on our own. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 I LOVE this verse! I hope everyone has a wonderful day and that God blesses you!

I know the feeling. I have been struggling with everything and have been very depressed lately. Completely not myself! I don’t feel like I know what my purpose is in life and where I fit in! I feel like I have been praying for a while for God to show me what I am suppose to do. I have always though of myself as a Christian, but lately I haven’t felt close to God and getting very discouraged. I am feeling trapped in our house, everything with the church is a far drive for us, plus with Cohen’s reflux I feel like my entire life has been put on hold and miss out on everything. I want to move, but have no idea to where. I pray regularly, but don’t feel like I am getting any answers. I know I am not letting him have complete control over my life, but to be honest I don’t know how to let go. Josh and I have been having lots of discussions about this, and he was not raised in a Christian environment, but seems more Godly than ever. I am thankful for this for him, I just can’t seem to get there myself. I want to be a good influence on my son, but I don’t feel like I am setting a good example. I will be praying for you guys! You two are very special and I know that God has something wonderful in store for you! Please remember me in your prayers that I will figure out how to rebuild my relationship with God and he will restore my faith! I am really struggling! Lots of love!
Taylor,
Wow! It is amazing to see God stirring things up! You are such a blessing to everyone you meet, I am sure. I feel blessed just to read your blogs and I have never met you! God has been working on me too and I am not quite sure what He has planned….so I know that feeling of being ready and also being anxious to know what He wants me to do! May God bless you & Bo as you both pray for His divine guidance. I will definitely pray for you both and I know that God will give you that guidance you have been waiting for!
Be Blessed in Him!

I know exactly how you feel, Matt and I are dealing with the same thing. I have been in tears since last night. I don’t know what were doing or where were going, but I know if I leave it in God’s hands everything will work out and be amazing! We will definately be praying for you both….hang in there, everything happens for a reason and in due time. I love you both!
Taylor, it’s so weird that you posted this because here I am, miles away from you, feeling the same thing, just in a different way. God has been working on big things and changes in my life too and it’s so good to see it be shared in another person.
I love how the Lord moves us so deeply sometimes.
On the first night that Alex and I met with our Crown Financial group, our teacher gave us each a bookmark that read:
“God is both predictable and unpredictable. He is absolutely predictable in that He is faithful to provide for our needs. He is absolutely unpredictable in how He chooses to provide for our needs.”
We’re praying for you and Bo. We love you two!!!
Thank you so much for sharing with me. God is so AMAZING and has great things planned for those who grow close with him. This week I have felt His presence more than ever, it has been a constant feeling inside of me since Wednesday night. Bo and I are about to make a decision that will have a huge impact on our life and our future. We just want to make sure that whatever that decision is, that God is the focus. Thank you for your prayers! I will be praying for each and every one of you and the things you are facing in life. Here is a verse I have been reading over and over, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
I love your writing and I pray that God will lead you and Bo in all that you do. You and Bo are a blessing to me and I love you both. You are a special couple and God has blessed you both by putting your lives together. I love you and have got you in my prayer.

Just happen to look over your website and read this post… Joel and I will be praying for ya’ll. We totally understand the part of waiting on God and waiting for an answer on where He wants you. We are kinda in the same position right now. We will be praying and thinking about ya’ll!! Thank you for the word and for the scripture…So glad you shared!
