Lord, can you hear me?

As much as I try to see the brighter side of things and situations going on around me, sometimes I can't help but to feel really helpless. Helpless, vulnerable, lonely, insufficient, and unsatisfied. That's a lot. "Give it to God and He'll handle it"... "Cast your burdens on the Lord"... "Let go and let God"... those all sound good and I do believe that "God can and He will"... but sometimes, there's just that feeling of hopelessness that creeps up and grabs hold of me. Although it may only last a few moments, I can still acknowledge the feeling. I know life is way more about the things I want to do and see. Life doesn't revolve around me and my simple needs and wants. So much is going in the world even as I type this. The world revolves. It rains. It snows. The wind blows. Global warming is in effect. Animals are becoming extinct. Volcanoes are active. Diseases are mutating. Powers and principalities. Government. Famine. Persecution. Refugees. Drones. Life. Death. It's all on-going. Every day and night, something bigger than me is happening in the world. Thinking about all of the the things going on everywhere in the world right now temporarily shifts my focus away from what's going on (and what's not going on) in my life. So, as I briefly told you a blog or two ago... I have relocated to the Sunshine State. The City Beautiful. Orlando, Florida. It's about to be two months since my move and I can honestly say... I'M RESTLESS. I'm grateful to God for giving me the strength to JUMP out of my comfort zone (as uncomfortable as it was) to a new environment and new experience but I already want more. It seems like I'm praying and practically begging for God to help me get to a place in my life that shouldn't be such a struggle to get to. Who doesn't want to have their own home or car? Their own way of providing for their families? Their independence? WHO DOESN'T WANT THAT? And why is i that I can't have it yet? I've done practically everything that I know to do and yet, can't experience the independence that others take for granted. And it's not even that I want to be independent from God. I just want to live a happy and successful life. I'm grateful for having this outlet. You don't want to bombard people with your problems when they have problems of their own.I'll just continue to pray and seek encouragement. I'll do my best to remain in a positive mood and be careful to not allow negative vibes to change my mood. I didn't relocate to Florida in vain. I didn't move away from familiarity and comfort because I had nothing better to do. I moved for a different experience, a new life, and freedom. God sees my heart and knows my desires. I take comfort in knowing that He has placed the desire to want more into my heart. I won't be satisfied until the life I see in my thoughts become a reality. And I know that I can't even begin to imagine the greatness the the Lord has for my life but with the limited imagination that I do have, I imagine so much more that what is at the moment. Let's go, Lord. I'm ready for my desires to be fulfilled!
