Rick, I certainly didn't read anything in your post that sounded like a pity party. I see a brother having a hard time readjusting to the world after being isolated from it during a grueling work season. You described needing to come up for air and I thought about resting in our Father's presence and letting Him comfort you and love on you and how refreshing that would be. I have so experienced the feelings you are having and my heart goes out to you. I so admire a man that can be honest about where there at spriitually and emotionally. I will be praying for you and I feel assured that all that heaviness will dissipate. You have been such an encouragement to me today thanks for sharing. Hugs Joyce

Hello Rick. I would encourage you to look at what you need most in your life, and go sow it into the lives of others. You reap what you sow. Do you need love, time, financial needs? I like what it says in: Job 42:10 KJV 10And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
The Lord turned Jobs captivity when he prayed for his friends. This is a good time for you to spend a lot of time in the Word, so you can be prepared to go deep with 2 or 3 people who need to see Jesus.
Luke 8:16 NLT 16 “No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house.
I encourage you to come to DAB and minister to others what the Lord has shown you. Come, be a part of this community. I will be praying for you for God's direction in ministry, and for Him to give you the desires of your heart.

Rick I agree with Sara G. God sets before you life and death, and you can choose every day......So choose life...Speak life into your own life and things will change. I will pray for you.........

Rick, I agree with the wise words already spoken here, and hold you in prayer before the Lord. I think He has already told you what you need. What are your thoughts along those lines? any new insight since you posted this?

Rick,
I too thank you for your honesty. Isn't it wonderful we can go to our father just as we are? I find great comfort in that. So much is heavy on the hearts of his children in these days. May he give us the grace to stand in this hour of trial and to continue to praise his name!

Thank you so much for all your experience strength and hope.... I've since initially writting this contacted a Pastor who I trust and respect, to help me through some issues from Childhood that I've never really let Jesus touch and look at with me and heal.... My hope is that working through these issues and praying through them that I can move on and my circles start to once again expand... Refer to Brian's talk on 1/24/11 that's me exactly to a tee, I've allowed myself through fear to become isolated to the point of living in my recliner with no outside human contact..... So recovery begins with Acknowledgment and the 1/24/11 talk really sent me a rather shocking wake up call.... Thanks and God Bless you alll Rick

WOW is it me or is the Holy Spirit really kicking it up a notch through Brian's exortations this time around.... They seem to be tailor made for my personal recovery and coming back out of isolation, becoming the servant leader I know God has called me to.... The next difficult step is cleaning out my entire inventory, to the darkest corners of the closet, to the hidden rooms of my heart.... Shine the light and walk through the pain with Jesus and a friend, to really come clean.... Its amazing to me that God is using Brian in this way, for me and I;m sure many, many others.... Yes if the entir body of Christ could learn put self and agenda aside and humbly serve at the lowest point, our entire world would change..... AMEN!
