Restless Spirit Syndrome

Hey Girls!  On Tuesday I said that I have felt restless.  That restlessness is increasing to a level that is driving me bonkers.  My brother in law deals with RLS- restless leg syndrome.  Lately I feel like I have RSS- restless spirit syndrome.  I even looked up the symptoms for RLS.  Pretty much describes how I feel.  Simply substitute the word spirit for legs:

  • An urge to move the legs, usually accompanied or caused by uncomfortable and unpleasant legs sensations
  • Symptoms begin or worsen during periods of rest or inactivity such as lying or sitting
  • Symptoms are partially or totally relieved by movement, such as walking or stretching, at least as long as the activity continues
  • Symptoms are worse or occur only in the evening or at night

Ahhhh yes.  Keep busy.  Keep moving.  Wear myself out each day to the point of exhaustion so I don't have to think about how I am not doing whatever it is I am supposed to be doing at this point in my life.......

I want to move forward....head north just like Tuesdays verse said.  I am still waiting for some clear direction.  Each day that escapes me leaves me feeling more and more restless.  I want nothing more than to live the life the Lord planned for me to live.  I may not know what I am supposed to do, but I do know He does not want me in angst over it!

So I try to calm my spirit.  I wait.  I pray.  I ask the Lord to make my path straight and clear.  Some moments are easier than others.  Some moments are...well.....not pretty......

Do you ever feel the same way?

Psalm 119:32 Message Translation I grasp and cling to whatever you tell me;
God, Don't let me down!  I'll run the course you lay out for me if you'll just show me how!  (looks like I'm not the only one to ever feel that way!)

Love, Grace, and a RSS free night to you all-
Jen
