A Barren Soul

In a land of ‘nothingness’, I sit with complete indifference.  Not the sun nor the moon, the birds or sky inspire this woman’s dry soul. 

Is this depression?  Am I physically sick?  No….this is a spiritual dryness that gives me grave concern.

My hope comes from the words of Maya Angelou as she remembers the words of her grandmother .  They had some pretty tough times and she remembers her saying, “Mama don’t know what she’s gonna do so mama’s just gonna step out on the Word.”

I know this is a season.  I know that Jesus experienced a need for renewal.  I read where he would go off to be alone and rest and pray.

So, today, I rest and pray.  And, I step out on His word.  This barren season – like winter – will turn to spring and I will have learned to wait.  This wait will renew my faith and I am praying that these words somehow – will renew yours.
