Why Does Pause with God need a relaunch???

When I first started Pause with God, I had a pressure on my heart to bring people closer to God and to share my life with them.  During the end of 2020 and 2021…we Journeyed to the Manger...we Journeyed the Cross...we had quick moments to help refresh us in the busyness of our lives.  Together, we took time to Pause with God.  

Then I stopped.  I told myself I was taking a quick break and would start back up in the Spring of 2022.  I mean even Jesus took a break when He needed to refresh himself.  But I didn’t start back up.

I have no excuse except to say that I allowed Satan to defeat me.  When I started this ministry, I was on fire and excited to see all that God was going to do.  I was diving into God’s word and I was using his armor to protect me. Satan knew he couldn’t get to me…so he got to my family, causing us a season of turmoil and struggles I had no control over.  Difficult life circumstances seemed to be around every corner.  Circumstances that left me feeling empty, uncertain, and unqualified for what God had called me to do.  How could I serve God when I couldn’t keep my own life and family together?  

I put Pause with God on hold.  When I did this, I didn’t think it would be over a year and a half.  But as I said, I allowed Satan to convince me that I didn’t have the time, the knowledge, or the strength to represent God in such a public manner.  

During this season, I didn’t pull away from God but continued to run to him.  Resting in him moment by moment.  And during this time, God wouldn’t stop tapping me on the shoulder.  He wouldn’t stop laying all of you on my heart and giving me a desire to share His heart with you.  Telling me that my struggles and circumstances are not unique to me.  Over and over I sensed him telling me to start again.  That he wanted me to share this journey he had me on.  I tried ignoring it…but you know how persistent God can be when He wants you to do something.  

So I am back and I invite you to walk this journey with me.  A journey where I am learning to walk in the overflow of Christ instead of the struggles in my world.  I hope you will join me as we take a moment to Pause with God.
