The Struggle Is Real

Hot dang! I thought these days were behind me. God has been teaching me so much lately. Everything has seemed to be on the right track for a couple months and His word has been speaking so loudly to me, confirming that I'm on the right track.

Then today happened. Nothing really specific happened. It really was a good day with the kids. We had such great time together! Then insecurity and anger crept in like the jerk it is. Add a sappy song and it's a perfect recipe for disaster. What in the world!?

I think there will just be bad days some times. Fighting the urge tonight to do anything I'll regret. It's hard. The struggle is so real!

I'm thankful I have the kids tonight. Thankful I have my parent's to talk me through these emotions. Thankful that Christ Himself has experienced all the same trials He asks me to endure. He goes ahead of me in each situation. Also walks beside me, helping me along. Tonight is one of those lay-on-the-floor-and-cry-out-for-help kind of nights. I'm confident that He will continue to do a good work in me, as long as I am faithfully obedient to Him.




“I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.”

Psalms‬ ‭40:1-3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Still I Rise

I found the above scripture quote on Pinterest tonight. It very accurately sums up how I feel right now. Even through failure, I will rise and seek God. Even when I sit in darkness and can see no way out, the Lord will be my light. No matter what may come my way, God is there and ready to comfort, strengthen and lead me. The song below is called “It Is Well”. There is a phrase that says “Through it all, through it all, my eyes are on You. Through it all, through it all it is well, it is well with me.”  No matter what, I know God is God. As long as I focus on Him and stay in line with His will for me, all is well and I can continue on.  Rise! The Lord will be your light! Praise Him!

Transformation Tuesday...on Wednesday

  December 28, 2016 I have this notebook I take to my work each day. It's full of random thoughts, scriptures and potential blog posts. It dates back to August 2016, which isn't really very long in the grand scheme, but it's amazing to see all I've been through, even just in the past couple months. I started to do better spiritually back in August, but then struggled again for a couple months. A few things I wrote about needed to be brutally edited and intensely prayed over before I could share them with you. I don't want to overshare or post a blog in anger in the heat of a moment. I don't know who all reads my blog, so I want to be super discerning and thoughtful about what I post. I don't want to speak negatively about my ex and the path he's chosen. There's no purpose in it. Of course that doesn't mean I don't have those thoughts at times. I certainly do. I give them to God. Being bitter and negative isn't going to help my s...
