feeling a little blocked in?

Every once in a while, I get to feeling like there are obstacles in my way.  I know that I have issues, and I’m working on them–honest, I am.  Some days are better than others.  But every so often, I feel like I’m blocked in by stuff.

Discouragement and fear are not my friends, but they like to visit.  I don’t know if it’s my personality, insecurity, fear…I get a little mad at myself for letting my mind and heart go toward that end.  God has been good at sending encouragement and hope my way, though.  I am learning to lean on him, believe truth instead of lies, and I believe that a breakthrough is coming.

Some days I feel like there’s a big old backhoe blocking my driveway.  Some days that’s a metaphor.  Today that’s the reality.

We’re getting a new water line on our street, and the worker guys have our driveway blocked.
