Refinement

I know it’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I dislike even saying I’m blogging. I haven’t committed fully, seriously look at the dates on the other posts…
I recently read the book Fervent by Priscilla Shirer (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her). I have allowed myself to feel pressured by things that nobody put on me, but me. I also realized that I have let the enemy rip away my focus and passion for things that God has called me to. Granted life has stress but EVERYTHING isn’t a priority. Y’all, plain and simple, I’ve let the enemy hijack me.
I’ve taken some time to just sit with these realizations. I’ve always wanted to write a book about the stupid things people say when you lose a child, to continue blogging, write a Bible study and yes, the cliché for every Christian woman to spend more time in the Word. I stopped blogging because I focused on other things, I started writing discipleship curriculum and stopped because I felt “not qualified”, yes, I know He qualifies the called.
So tonight, I spent time finishing a book I started a year ago. So many things are intertwined and are standing out to me. It is certain that I am being refined. One of the definitions of the word “refined” is cultivated. The Holy Spirit has been tilling my spiritual awareness and I am focused now.
