I think we go through these times so that we can truly figure out who we are in Christ. Where we stand and what we believe. I felt as if God was transforming me in a way I couldn't control. I had this fear because what I was wanting for my life wasn't what God wanted. I was happy so I thought everything in my life was under control. I realized I was putting my trust in myself and not God. The reason His word seemed dry is because my focus was on me and not him. That is the wrong place to be. You won't get anywhere in life until you fully release yourself and put all of your trust in God. I have to pray daily that God will free me of all of my iniquities. God's word brings life and brings joy. Jeremiah 15:16 says "When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty." If you run to his word and you fully trust and love him... he will be there and will never leave you.

His Word
Do you ever feel like God's word seems dry and you just don't hear him speaking to you? At the end of last year I was in that place. I had a sense of confusion and loneliness and I couldn't really explain to anyone my reasons for feeling this way. I had mixed desires and felt like I was in a between mode with God. I wanted him there but at the same time I was confused because I felt like he wasn't moving in my life.

Your comment was not weird at all..I am glad you are reading my stuff. I must say I really enjoyed reading your blog. I totally understand where you are with a lot of things you wrote about. This post is so true I believe that whenever God's Word seems dry and you can't hear Him it helps us to strive to keep reading it more knowing that He will show up when the time is right. God works in crazy ways and even uses our "dry" times for His glory! Good stuff thanks for commenting! Glad you added me as a friend!
