Secret Things

Deuteronomy 29:29

The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and our children forever, that we may follow the words of this law

I read my devotional today and it convicted me of my worry and anxiety. As if I can do anything in and of my own. I am going through a difficult time in trusting God right now. I need to stop wrestling with myself, my past, my regrets, I must learn to forgive myself….oh the list goes on. To all my friends and followers who know I have struggled with forgiving my bf, I want to say I have processed my pain and am walking in love again. I have many questions and doubts but I am giving them all to God. I created quite a mess of my life, but I also am deeply in love with Jesus. So, as I go about my day, I let my God figure out my mess. He does work all things out for the good! I study His word and I sing to Him and I am resting at His feet.

I am my Beloveds and He is mine

Song of Solomon 2:16

Motivation Monday

Great difficulties may be surmounted by patience and perseverance.

~Abigail Adams

from Inspiring Quotes:

First Lady Abigail Adams and second U.S. President John Adams were the earliest occupants of the White House. From the start of their courtship until the end of their public service, the couple exchanged more than 1,100 letters. These historical documents verify that Abigail was her husband’s closest political adviser for decades. On November 27, 1775, while home with their children in Quincy, Massachusetts, she wrote to John in Philadelphia, where he and his fellow Second Continental Congress delegates were debating which principles should underpin the fledgling U.S. government. Given their formidable challenge, Abigail offered these words of advice, maintaining that haste rarely fosters meaningful solutions.

Patience and Perseverance

I went to church yesterday with my boyfriend. It was over the top, above and beyond, the presence of the Jesus surrounded me, hugged me and loved on me and yes, He is always here with me I only need to open my heart. I am going to be still and wait on my God. He does tend to wait until the last minute, which is why I call him the ultimate Game Changer, so with that knowledge, I wait. Father, guard my mouth, help me be kind and gracious while I wait for you to answer.

Forgiveness Friday

Today I focus on “Today”. Forgetting what lay behind, I press forward. I will go to my closet to cry, I will press past any pain, I will love. Love does not blame, it does not remember any wrong, it thinks only good and love covers all sin.

Today I am thankful to have been raised hearing and learning about God. I thank God for my mom and dad, for my kids, for my freedom from prison and freedom from drugs and alcohol. Thank you Father that you put the desire inside me to change, because I know that anything good comes from you.

I am on step 4

I want to forgive. I want to move forward. The wrong done comes up though and I find myself reacting and then he reacts to my reaction and its a viscous cycle. I am not perfect and I don’t expect perfection. Moments like this, when I am thrown back in time, reacting, I am at that moment unforgiving and hurt all over again. Any tips on how to handle these moments of memory?

I really love the way I feel when I write. I feel most alive and empowered when I write.

“If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it.” 

― Anais Nin

I literally have cried and sung.I mean,there are times when it takes you away and your there…in the pages….and you feel the emotions that your putting down. Its a drug in a way. Euphoric.

Good Morning! I hope you have a wonderful, blessed day.

I am focusing today on releasing my hurt. You know how when your hurting you have less patience? Well, I am hurting and lashing out. I recognize my behavior and I am going to set my mind to releasing my hurt and fear. Let it go. Inhale. Exhale. Breath.

I forgive myself for letting my emotions run away with me. Today, I will let myself be human and make a couple mistake. Learn from them and move on.

Shedding the skin of yesterday and all its sorrows. Retaining the lessons and move on to tomorrow

Today, let go of the stress. Release the negativity. Close your eyes. Breath.

I am inspired today to release the pain of betrayal. The lies cannot hurt me anymore. The trauma of abuse is reborn into wisdom and I am safe. I am safe to love again. I am loved. I am worthy of this great life I am living. Great things are coming to me. I am in the process of my change and it is beautiful. I am beautiful. I embrace health and happiness. I give love because I am love.
