Getting weary or burned out doesn't mean I have grown weary of doing good. It just means I need special time with God so He can make me able to do more good.

You are more than a shepherd to me.

I want the whole world to see.

You are more than a brother or friend.

You are more than a king. Your my every thing.

You are my God for ever. Amen  

Your more than a savoir to me.

I want the whole world to see.

You always care. Your always there.

Your love and grace is for all who will receive.

Your the beginning and the end. 

To receive You we just need repent and believe.

You are more than we can comprehend.

Your our God forever. Amen

Weary Gardener

By this time of the year I am so tired of watering all my plots that I could scream. I am also tired of  weeding . I just wish the gardens could take care of themselves and let me just sit back and enjoy them. So, when the rainy season gets here I don't usually complain because I can finally quit watering and weeding. Then by February or May I am ready to get back to gardening because; by then I have cabin fever. I am very grateful that God never gets tired of  tending to me like I do my garden. I am also grateful that in my spiritual walk He gives me time to rest and refresh so I can get to full filling His plan for my life with renewed gusto. This doesn't mean I grow weary of doing good. It just means I wear myself out or become burned out. I need refreshing and more. Like when the rains come and I don't weed or water. He brings time in my life when I don't (weed myself) or (water others). This usually happens after I have taken on more than I can handle and I start to grow weary, or when I start to get stagnate. He is usually quite clear as He pulls me aside and says "Stop picking on your self your too nit picky and are wearing yourself out." "Sit here at my feet a while and get your eyes back on me and focus on what I am saying to you." When this happens I usually start writing in my journal again. Writing sometimes helps me focus. Sometimes when He draws me aside to stop watering others He reminds me that I am not God and shouldn't try to fix or save everyone that's His job. He also reminds me not to think myself too wise in my own eyes. But He also uses this time to teach me wonderful lessons about how to really love others. He helps me to see how others think and feel about things. He helps me to understand their hurts, fears, pride and shame in order that I may touch them with His love and help and that I too may touch them with love, help and understanding. It's a time of growing to be more like Him. As a gardener I know to have a beautiful garden you I must work at it. This is true of my Christian walk too. When I get too weary or lazy my garden suffers. This is true of my Christian walk too.  He takes me away from the heat (intenseness that I have created) of  every day Christian walk to sitting at His feet. I slow down, I focus, burdens are lifted, I am refreshed, I grow. Then He sends me forth renewed with His blessing.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.  Matthew 11:28-30,
