“your words brought me back to just enjoying His presence and turning to Him when the feeling of unrest stirs.”
How lovely, and how kind of you. Thank you!

You captured something that I’ve felt at times (and felt guilty about). . .being off on some anticipated adventure and then longing for the structure and routine of home. Your words give me some freedom. It’s all grace; I’ll try to remember that next time I experience this. Thanks for listening to the Spirit and then sharing with us.

I need to let go of my expectations and longings and turn to God’s wondrous Spirit. Only God can satisfy my deepest desires and meet my needs. Your words brought me back to just enjoying His presence and turning to Him when the feeling of unrest stirs.
