I have noticed that a lot of the people that I am around are in this weird funk most of the time. Part of that could be due to the lack of vitamin d in the winter months, but it is feeling like an attempted attack from the enemy on our souls. And some people have allowed the claws to dig into their shoulders, and the other ones are nursing the wounds of the claw scratches.

I am nursing the wounds of claw scratches and bandaging the wounds of when I let the claws dig into my shoulders. Regardless of where you stand, this is a tiring process. A process in which our hearts can begin to grow weary and heavy. It's like we are trying to store sand in a colander and cannot figure out why we never have any sand.

For whatever reason or rhyme, there is a lot of heartache to go around. The people around me are struggling. Their hearts are hurting and they're souls are weary. And it is breaking my heart...

I want to speak some encouragement and some truth over you right now:

You may be hurting right now, but there is hope. A time is coming when you can stop surviving and start thriving. The winds are going to change. They are in the process of changing. And sometime soon you will see. You will feel the changes and you will come to a place of peace and comfort.

As for now, draw close to the Father. Surround yourself with those who will encourage you and those that will spread love your way. Find those that you can trust and those who are willing to spread love to those dark places in your life, and reach out to the people around you.

Hang in there.
