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”

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...

Helping A Friend Through Divorce

Goodness this is tough to write. For a few reasons.  I feel like a failure. Shameful. Guilty. Stressed. Overwhelmed. Less than.  God please help me to only say what is needed.  Help me to be wise. Thoughtful. Loving. Considerate. Truthful, but gaurded.  Let’s jump right in. Don’t pry I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been at church, work, the grocery store or wherever and someone asks me what happened. Some people are well meaning and actually do care and want to encourage. Some are just being nosy. In the two minutes I have to chat with you, I’m not going to be able to articulate what happened. You caught me off guard. I’m going to give you an answer that doesn’t give you much information at all. Please respect that.  Why you ask? The decision to go through with a divorce is one I’ve wrestled with for over a year.  It’s taken a long time to come to terms with it. Sleepless nights, begging God to speak out and tell me what to...

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...
