An Update

"In Bloom." by Kirk McConnell (c) 2011

My last entry was July 10th. It has been an interesting month of July. I wanted to write in this blog, but have been so busy trying to tend to other matters, this has been a little neglected. I am not going to attempt to write any entries dating back to the 10th for my archive, and this entry is simply an update to say I am back.

I want to continue writing this blog. I do not know if I can do this daily, but I will put out at least two a week, and hope that will be good for now. I know people read my blog, and I do not want to lose any readers. It is not my desire to write just anything. I am prayerful of what I write, and am sensing that God wants me to continue to pen entries so that people will be encouraged, myself included. 

These last two weeks God has been speaking to my heart, and I realize that I cannot write everything I want to say in this entry. I will likely be touching on issues about listening to God: How well do you listen? I will write about praying for others: Ask God to help that person! I will also likely write often about not giving up, and God's faithfulness. Another important issue I will address is the importance of keeping your word, when others do not. These are just a glimpse of what God has been pressing on my heart. 

Do you need prayer? feel free to leave a comment or message me. Intercessory prayer is one of the gifts God has given me, and I will pray for you.

Please pray for me, too. I am still out of work, struggling with discouragement caused by employer rejection and uncertainty due to the times we live in. I really do not know what I am supposed to do with my life, and need direction. As an artist, God is putting me back to work in small ways, so if I can be faithful in those, perhaps things there will open up also. Thank you in advance for your prayers. All praise to God. In Jesus' name, amen.
