Even when I don't feel it He's working....




I know I've used this song before in a blog, but it bears repeating....cause honestly, I saw Him do it yet again last week. My week last week started off rough. I was so up in my feels I am pretty sure I had a headache from it. I had spent my time with God, hashed the day out with Him, and yet I still went from Jesus take the wheel to Jesus cover my mouth in less than an hour. Ya'll the enemy knows when we are armed and ready for the week ahead because I think he goes, okay you just think you are ready, see if you can handle it when I flood you with distractions....trust me, it wore me out at the start of my week. I watched God flip my week last week through His gentle reminders of grace and "I've got this child". 

There are days when my feelings scream at me and are much louder than they should be, but then there are days when I'm reminded that "even when I don't feel it He's working". So many times I've let what I feel make me forget what He's healed. 


I ended the week feeling the best I've felt in months. If you are new to the blog, go back and read some of the previous posts about this past season. I looked back over my steps in my FitBit app and I made my goal five out of seven days last week. Intentional.....I'm not always going to feel like doing something that I need to do, but I'm learning to do it anyway. Obedience doesn't always feel "good", but in the end, it produces the right fruit when we listen. I don't always get it right....trust me there have been days lately where the right hasn't been what's come out, but God has been faithful with the nudges, the prompts, the whispers to say Hey, daughter. 

Even when we don't see it He's working......stop and think for a minute, if we could really see all that God is doing behind the scenes for us and all that He is moving into place....would we still follow through with what He's asking us to do? There is a trusting place that 2020 has brought that lands us in a space of grace....but that may be a blog for another day. 


"He never stops working".....I don't know who needs to hear this tonight but hang in there. I know your days may be full of a lot of feels and things that don't make sense, but child of God hang on...He's not forgotten you or stopped working on your behalf. So many times we quit after not seeing God move in the suddenly that we asked Him to, that we forget to hang on for the finally that He is working out for us.
