Barrenness

Barrenness - describes well what has tormented me the last few days.

That aside for a second.

I go to a pretty cool church. And, I know some pretty cool people from that church. My church challenges people to change, and grow. It challenges people to get sin out of their lives. It encourages people to seek out their purpose and dreams and pursue them.

It is a hard church to be in when God does not show you or give you a dream or purpose.

And, it is a hard church to be in because it is full of people with families and children.

Barrenness.

I have failed at keeping my life clean.

Barrenness.

No comfort, a landscape that is dry and empty with no fruit.

Barrenness.

What does one do with a desert ?
The grass is greener on the other side when you don't have grass.
And, when you don't have what it takes to grow grass.
Grass doesn't grow in the desert.

Barrenness.

Why?

Barrenness.

And, God says ...

Isaiah 41:18
I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs.
