breakthrough

since there are about 4 people that read this blog with any consistency, this can't be considered bragging - i sure hope it isn't taken like that.

often times in my work life i can feel a little overwhelmed. things tend to pile up, deadlines eventually come due and expectations can be pretty high. today i was having one of those moments and i turned to god in prayer....then this happened.

instead of just praying for "insight" into this little problem i was experiencing so i would "succeed" through it (this is what i usually do) - i felt a nudging, actually it was almost like a thump on the head - to pray about what god wanted me to see in this moment. the most important thing to talk to god about was not succeeding in this - but trusting, listening and growing in the experience.

might not seem much to most, but to me it was a breakthrough!

As one of your "4 consistent readers" (I think there are more though), I didn't take it as bragging at all. Praise God for his heart-level victory.
