Restless Spirit

Seek God and continue to KNOCK

I have been a restless spirit most of my life. I have embraced that. It's not a bad thing if used as it should be used. 

While backslidden, that spirit wasn't good for me. Now, it is an awesome trait to have.

Many people are content with staying in a permanent place. Whether that be a home, city, job, or church. 

I firmly believe that God gives us different seasons. 

For me, my past was one season. My sanctification processes were another. My current life is yet another. I reflect on the song, Every Season. Here are the lyrics.

Every evening sky, an invitation

To trace the patterned stars

And early in July, a celebration

For the freedom that is ours

And I notice You

In children's games

In those who watch them from the shade

Every drop of sun is full of fun and wonder

You are summer

And even when the trees have just surrendered

To the harvest time

Forfeiting their leaves in late September

And sending us inside

Still, I notice You when change begins

And I am braced for colder winds

I will offer thanks for what has been and what's to come

You are autumn

And everything in time and under heaven

Finally falls asleep

Wrapped in blankets white, all creation

Shivers underneath

And still, I notice you

When branches crack

And in my breath on frosted glass

Even now in death, You open doors for life to enter

You are winter

And everything that's new has bravely surfaced

Teaching us to breathe

What was frozen through is newly purposed

Turning all things green

So it is with You

And how You make me new

With every season's change

And so it will be

As You are re-creating me

Summer, autumn, winter, spring

In my past, I ran from one relationship to another. Changed jobs because I hated bosses who told me what to do. I moved a lot, which I still love. As a single person, I have the freedom to do so. I moved because I always thought a new place and new faces would be a brand new start. 

Now as a Christ Follower, I have learned that I am okay to stay in a place for a certain season until God feels it is time to move me.

Now being I am settled, to a point (lol), I am able and willing to go wherever He leads. 

I reflect back on the song by Crystal Lewis. In the song, she says, "Here I am, send me". 

Due to my restless spirit, where most wouldn't be able to go state to state or church to church to spread the gospel of Jesus, I can. 

I think that it is needed more now than ever since we are in the last days.

I am a restless person but through God, I can embrace that part of me, properly. 

I continue to KNOCK and seek HIM in my prayers but sometimes as humans and seeing through our eyes, we want a "sign" or some sort of BAM that is what I meant Lord....

but sometimes, HIS PEACE is enough!! 

Sometimes being still while restless is okay. 

Revert back to my Be Still blog to understand that word. 

Always SEEK HIM and you won't go wrong.
