And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ –Acts 26:14
God’s been telling me to give up writing on this blog for a while and I’ve been resisting. I’ve felt some sort of obligation like I need it or something. But I don’t and in trying to keep writing posts I’m just kicking against the goads. It hasn’t been working. Every time I sit down to write I think I have something to say and then boom.. blockage. And it’s not blockage from the enemy. It’s lack of grace blockage. It’s Jonah trying to escape from going to Nineveh blockage. So without any further disobedience I’m giving the blog a rest to see what else the Lord has for me in this season. I’ll be back at some point. Maybe in a couple months or as little as a couple weeks? Either way God is good all the time! He loves you all the time! And He is speaking all the time!
Much love to you all,
-Justin
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’
Justin, I am sorry to hear you will not be doing your blog for a while. I have enjoyed reading it and will wait until the LORD opens the door again for you to continue with it. May the LORD bless all your efforts on his behalf.
Thanks so much Toni! 🙂
Reminds me of the favourite author who wrote about this topic. Hope you’ll have a great time with Him while you rest.

Justin, Rest yes, but never give up. Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks Shelley. I’m definitely not giving up – more like giving in. I’m just following His leading to some other things. Good things 🙂 Bless you!
Justin, it’s best for you to be guided by the flow of grace and by the lack of grace. I have had struggles similar to what you describe. In the Lord’s time (which none of us can foretell) He will lead you back.
Amen!
Even Saul needed three years in the desert before he became Paul!
Peace
I am Going through the same. He is faithful in all seasons and Lord of all! Be Blessed and rest well!
