For the last ten years I have felt like I don't have the right clothes! God has given me responsiblities that I feel so ill prepared for. Responsibilities that I put little effort in to because I beleive I am lacking the skills. Most days, I feel like I have been dropped in the middle of a dark heavily wooded forest with no compass and have to find my way out. And who do I blame for this? I blame God. I am angry that I feel so lost. Why can't he just make this easier? Isn't there a switch he can flip so I can just be naturally excellent and joyful about my responsibilities? Why can't being June Cleaver, Martha Stewart and Betty Crocker come easy to me!? So, I feel improperly clothed and wonder where He is. Yet, it is not He who left me. It is I who have left Him. And sometimes, the shame of returning keeps me from going back. I needed to hear this today. For the last ten years I have felt like I don’t have the right clothes!
