We are still at D&D, and if feels as we are going through trials which require sorting, sifting, and replacing old for new. It's as if the Lord is checking each of us and saying, "This lure is worn and needs replacing, or this piece of equipment is not quite ready to be used for fishing."
For unspecific reasons, the delays in staying have been for a purpose; I have to believe that. I can only speak for myself, but, I have felt battered by it. My emotions have been in like a fish caught in a hook and struggling to get free! I struggled until I became both physically and emotionally drained. Once, I resolved to let the Lord sift through me, and show me my lackadaisical tackle box, He finally made progress with me. The Holy Spirit has shown me that my heart was selfish in some areas and I needed to clear out and rid myself of some bad habits. If these areas are not changed, I can't function properly as a lure which attracts people to Jesus!
Who am I to say to the Lord over the Harvest, Your going about this all wrong? I desire to be that shiny lure, that lure that draws people to Jesus! Hopefully, Lord willing, we will be on the road tomorrow.
