Steady Heart

This morning God’s word spoke to me saying
 “Accept your circumstances. Humble yourself. 
Don’t be resentful. Rejoice in what God is doing in YOUR life. Let Him handle everything else.”

“Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:5

“I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭57:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

If ever I didn’t have the answers, it’s in this very moment. This moment of hurt. All I know is who I am in Christ. I know my babies need me to stand up for them and protect their hearts. 

This won’t make sense to some and but to others, you’ll know exactly what I mean. There comes a point where a choice has to be made when a boundary is crossed. It doesn’t mean you love someone any less. It shows your character and that you will stand up for what you know is right and say no to what is wrong. 

Tonight I cling to the truth that God can still use me. Even in the hurt. Even when some will say I’m being selfish. Even when the pain comes wave after wave. God is faithful. So I will be, too. There’s no other option than to press on. My babies need me to be faithful and strong. 

Listen to this song by Steffany Gretzinger.

“I can’t see what’s in front of me
Still I will trust You, still I will trust You.
Steady heart that keeps on going
Steady love that keeps on hoping 
Lead me on
Steady grace that keeps forgiving
Steady faith that keeps believing
Lead me on”

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!

Finding Rest

There’s been a lot going on in my life these past couple years. Separations, divorce, marriage, court hearings, more separations, another potential divorce, ups, downs all arounds. Add to that financial struggle brought on some by myself and some by the people I allowed into my life. Finding rest in difficulties can feel so out of reach!  What does it mean to find true rest? I’ve spent countless nights tossing and turning and worrying about every tiny detail and playing out every possible scenario. Most of the time I’ll wake up in the morning after a night like that, and feel God ask “Well how was that? What good did that do? Did you solve anything?”  Obviously not. I’ll say I’m laying things down at the feet of God, but then I’ll pick it back up and carry it out the door with me. The bottom line here is that God  is working for us! He is fighting on our behalf! There is no need for us to lay awake at night, fearful of what the morning has in store.  God i...

Introduction To Immeasurably More

Hey Guys! I'm assuming if you're reading this, you're hoping to learn a little about what's been going on in my life the past few months. You may be hoping for all the dirty details. You may know half of one side of the story. Or we may be new friends and you have no idea what I'm talking about. Look, I'm not going to guarantee that you'll go away from here knowing my entire life story. In fact, you'll probably only get a small portion of my past and only if it's necessary for back story to make a point. Everything is useful to God. Even choices that we regret and wish we could change are used by Him to mold and shape us and bring us closer to Him. I'm not going to talk negatively or put down others. Every one has to learn things their own way and in God's timing. It's taken God almost 7 years to fully get my attention. God has laid so much on my heart and I feel it's time for me to open up and share with you guys. If my testimony...
