Stopping

My body, my mind and my spirit are tired. The second and third parts tried telling me to stop and be for a while, but I wouldn't listen and so my body has kicked in to stop me. I have the lurgy (or atleast I think I do) or it could be I am just utterly exhausted and my body didn't understand it only had to struggle for another 3 days.
Whatever I have had to stop and stop in silence, (the headache being reduced but not eliminated by the caplets I'm taking at regular intervals).

It's wierd when stuff like this happens because in the silence you get to look at how life really is and start to think about the journey that bought you here. I realise that right now I am in a really interesting place largely because I have blessed by some amazing stuff happening amongst the dung.

I also realise though that I am in a position where over the coming months I will have to make some decisions about what I want out of life or more importantly where I think God wants me to be moving in life, (note not necessarily geographically or physically moving). Having read a verse or two beyond Jeremiah 29 vs 11 (the famous "I know the plans I have for you says the Lord") I realise that to find those plans you have to seek the Lord with all your heart.

Don't know quite how to do that seeking the Lord with all my heart if I'm honest. I think it probably involves more prayer, bible study, listening and reflection and alot less Christian paperbacks and introspective moaning.
