It might arrive with a scent upon the wind, or a song (I'm totally with you in that), a deja vu moment, or a musing. <br /><br />Now that I've lived these 62 years, they arrive frequently; and I know it's God's way of summoning me away from the restlessness to His rest. Even so, it sometimes takes time to find my way there.<br /><br />Love the sentiments of your heart!<br /><br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628400413930011153.post-46434563011624256582010-09-12T09:08:34.304-07:002010-09-12T09:08:34.304-07:00This is my first time visiting your blog and I so ...This is my first time visiting your blog and I so enjoyed reading your post.

I love meeting new people in blogland and "reading" their hearts in print. As you reflect upon your restlessness, you reflect in good company. Most of us have known these seasons when life turns upside-down, inside-out, and finding our re-alignment with the heart of Jesus is difficult. <br /><br />I understand. I've lived it countless times before.<br /><br />How thankful I am for the good place I'm at today--a day that finds me in a posture of kneeling grace before the Father knowing that all my restlessness has landed me in the only place that makes sense.<br /><br />At his feet.<br /><br />I join you there today. <br /><br />peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8628400413930011153.post-42757558161165033152010-09-11T14:21:24.166-07:002010-09-11T14:21:24.166-07:00Good post and good comments.

Days like the anniversary of 9/11 are important reminders of the importance of life and of being thankful to God for our blessings. <br />I have known that lost feeling many times in my life...pray, be still and wait on God.

Although it has been months now, it doesn't seem that long ago that I found myself crying out to God, "<b>Where are You? Why do You hide from me? Please God, help me!</b>"<br /><br />In the midst of my sadness and sorrow, I began to experience the wonder of God's grace and I began to learn that <i>it is sufficient for me</i>, in my weakness God's strength is made perfect.<br /><br />I look back on those days, weeks and months and I'm thankful that the Lord carried me through them. I find myself in a season of joy and peace now, and I'm just as thankful.<br /><br />When you say, "<b>I believe we all must somehow become lost in order to be found</b>, <i>I sense so much wisdom and truth in that.</i><br /><br />Blessings and peace.<br /><br /><a href="http://mythought-filledjourney.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">MTJ</a>MTJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694085588658653915noreply@blogger.com
