A Message to the Hurting and Confused



I wrote this quite a while back, but it needs repeating every so often......

Be encouraged!! This is only a season. A stepping stone, and if you need it to be......a learning or teaching moment. Satan attacks us in ways we never think or imagine possible. He thinks if he can take away that which is most important to us (here on Earth), or that if he attacks When things are taken away, then he can cause us confusion. Why is this happening? How can it be fixed? CAN it be fixed? Is all lost? Know, my friends, this is not of God. 1 Corinthians 14:33 (New King James Version) 33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. God loves you and wants you to know how much He wants to help you through this, no matter what decisions you've made to this point.

2 Timothy 1:7 (New King James Version)7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Confusion causes fear, and is tormenting . God gave us power over our weaknesses, and God gave us a SOUND MIND. We can hear clearly. We can think clearly and we can comprehend what we hear. Satan is a Liar and is telling you, you are worthless, that you can't, and he may even be using those closest to you to do it. Take this power back! I can do all things in Christ. It's a promise. It's a new way of thinking.

James 1:5 (New King James Version) 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
That is an amazing promise. With wisdom comes peace. Wisdom comes with a deeper knowledge of the word of God because it FROM God. It's a promise of Peace. Psalm 119:165 (New King James Version) 165Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble."

Proverbs 3:5 (New King James Version) 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding..... Trust me. That is all God is asking of us to get us through this battle. A simple request, that many of us have said to our own children. All He is asking is for us to let Him teach us and guide us, so we can learn to have power over Satan, and to become the strong, sound minded child of God we are.
He will teach you and guide you and keep your steps right if you focus on Him. Psalms 32:8 (New King James Version) 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should be. I will guide you with My eye.
And with focusing on him comes strength, endurance, and peace. Psalms 34:17 (New King James Version) 17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

Such great promises, from the loving and caring God we serve.
Peace......

You Can Never Go Home

Image
Whoever said, "you can never go home again" was wrong. Maybe they just don't have the amazing system of family and friends, which I have. Whatever the reason, they are just wrong. After living in South Carolina for eight years, I came back to my  hometown  for the summer. My family and friends have made me feel so loved, and shown me so much warmth and support, I am almost overwhelmed. With most, it was like no time had even passed, and with others, catching up has been filled with laughs and giggles and a few very late nights at the bon fire. No one has made me feel like I no longer belong, although a few jokes about my blood being thinner and not being able to take the cooler temperatures here, were made at my expense. Of course I give the ribbing as well as I receive it. A few bald jokes, a few burnt biscuit jokes and a couple barefoot and pregnant jokes were shared by me as well. A LOT of laughs have been shared, and a few tears also shared, during this summer of heal

Back To The Basics

Image
Ok so my minor melt down is past. I think the stress of everything just got to me, but I have spent time in prayer, regrouped and now, all better. Back to the task at hand......Healing... I learned this healing process will be a long one. I guess since it took me 37 years to get here, expecting to be healed in a few weeks or months was pretty foolish thinking. I have to change my entire way of thinking about my health overall, not just my back. Processed foods...bad...fresh fruits and veggies..good. That sounds like an elementary way to look at things, but it's what I have to do, get back to the basics of life. I couldn't put a garden in this spring, but I am already planning my gardens for next year. The only hitch is, we are selling our house, and I am not sure where we will be living, how much space I will have to plant, or even if I will have enough room to plant. If not, patio containers, here I come. My pain is no where near what it was, so the water is helping, and

Three Simple Words

Image
I Love You. Three very powerful words. My husband surprised me this morning by sending me a text with those three simple words. It made my day, and I loved it so much that I saved that text. I am often amazed at how such a simple phrase can change the course of a day. Words have power. They have meaning. They can change a day for the better...or for the worst. The word in the middle, love, reveals two choices he made this morning. One, he chose to love me still today. Two, he chose to tell me this. All his choices for the rest of the day, concerning me, will reflect those two choices he made this morning. The reason I believe Love is a choice is that God IS love. (1John 4:8) If we have to choose God, then we have to choose Love. Pretty simple reason, really. Another word for God is Lord-another powerful word, meaning strength to me. People run to the Lord when they fall. They run to that word like a tower in a storm. (proverbs 18:10) With God I cannot fail. With the Lord, I cannot be
