I am feeling a sense of renewal today.  I feel like I’ve just finished a good rest.  Maybe I needed time to rest, be quiet and listen?  Time to hear that still small voice and work to align my heart with what I’ve heard.  

Or maybe I was sleep walking?  Going through the motions, getting things done, and wrestling with God.  Trying to shut out that still small voice, and trying to get Him to align with my plan.    

….“Wake up, sleeper,
    rise from the dead,
    and Christ will shine on you.”  Ephesians 5:14

I love this verse because it always reminds me of the movie “Shawn of the Dead.”  I know, not high art, but It was through this movie that God gave me a perspective of a life I could easily fall into.  

We humans are all at risk of sleep walking.  It’s hard to sleep though a whole life, but maybe there are periods of time that just seem to slip through our fingers.  Periods of time we waste just going through the motions.  I believe my time has been a bit of both.  Time to seek and see what is next on the horizon, while wrestling against what I already know.  Time to get back to the writing that helps me “work out” my salvation, and hopefully encourages others along the way.
