Insecurities.

Satan is dang good at hitting them, but God is so much better at ridding them. They won’t go unless you let them go. Give them to God and trust Him. It’s different for everyone, but the result should always lead to strength and growth in Christ alone.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”. (Philippians 4:6-7)

“”Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew 6:25-34)

It is my prayer for you, this morning, and every day that you trump these insecurities/fears that hold you back from growth and just allow God to be the victor in your life. You are far better off in His hands than your own, or any other human being’s.

With God, everything falls into place.

Lord, keep me focused on You. I can’t even keep track of how many times I get distracted and become overwhelmed with thoughts, worry and doubt. You have blessed me time and time again, and I will no longer ignore and/or be hesitant to accept them and take full advantage of them because all I want to do is use them to glorify You and You alone. I have no worth without You. Everything I do is completely meaningless if You are not the motivation behind my actions and thoughts.

Continue to be the foundation of my family and my relationships as we strive for purity so that we may find favor in Your eyes..

I love you Daddy, thank YOU! <3 

Purpose.

I meant it when I said I love you. And each time I say it my heart dances it’s way into your possession. I never thought I could have so much love for one person. It hurts sometimes…to be so close. I rebuke the option for there to be an end, but it doesn’t stop that one little question: What if? It haunts me day and night. That there could be a better love than mine. But will hold fast to what we have now. Knowing that there is no other way we could have worked. For if it weren’t for that one night we would have never been.

Purpose is what we’ve found.

So I will hold on for as long as I am permitted.

Forgiveness

It’s amazing how freeing forgiveness really is.

Today, I truly forgave my dad. I thought I did when he said ‘sorry’, but it was clear that I wasn’t when my boyfriend, Thomas, had to tell me to bite my tongue when I was venting to him about my father. He could hear the judgement, anger and hurt I had towards my father.

This also started to show in my own relationship with Thomas. Even though I trusted him, it didn’t show it very well.

As I let go of the judgement, anger, and hurt, I started to have a peace about my relationship with my family AND my relationship with Thomas. 

Forgiveness is just wonderful. You should try it some time…SOON.

“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you” Colossians 3:13

Your sanity is at risk!

One of those days…

…where I just don’t know what is happening anymore and all I can do I pray and hope I’m not doing something stupid.

Those days, where I need to just stop over-thinking and stop letting satan get a grip on me, and let God completely embrace me.

Those days that I realize I don’t know everything and I still have a lot of learning to do, but don’t know where to start.

I have been given so much. More than I even deserve, and I feel like I am just going to ruin it somehow if I don’t handle them correctly. I can’t even seem to correctly convey my feelings to those who need to know.
