"Often, it is in the desert of anonymity and obscurity that God molds and shapes our characters, making us ready on the inside for all He has for us."

think i have made my dry period a rut that i am scarily adjusting to.
the "not feeling it" card gets pulled out so often, and i succumb to it.
it is not the question of "where are You" but more of "what are You doing and can You show me a little bit of it? please?"
guess that is the curiosity and slightly inpatient side of me slashing out.
waiting = joy? that's quite hard to swallow.
rest and doing nothing is completely different. had two weeks of bumming and think it is more than time to get up.
there is bound to be a river among the dryness; having streams of water trickling down the cracks.
patience and endurance does build a new character in ourselves, removing all self dependency and attaching it to Him. i mean, who else can we depend on truly?

"Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.
And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.
Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us."
Romans 5:3-5 (Amplified)

sometimes He changes us, and then the situation.
so lets make this new season of waiting a joyful one shall we?
and with God, it is always exciting!
