What He Sees When I Look In The Mirror

As I look in the mirror, All I can see is a worn out Mother, A wife who longs to love ,truly love her husband as she once did at first. A child of God who never spends enough time with her Father, sometimes doubting if  He really will come through in my circumstances.
                                   

Do I believe the lies that the enemy of my soul wants me to believe? That lie of old that he began in the beginning of time? I want to scream, because I know I will never be, on my own the way that I really want to be. Mirrors don't always give an accurate view. There is something missing. It can't see into your soul. There is only One mirror that can see into your soul. God's perfect word!

                       
Too often we look to our own resources to see who we are, what we look like, and what we must be doing. How well we are doing it. We never stop to look into His beautifully inspired word to see who we really are. What I would like to do for today is to show you from God's perspective who you are. Who you really are in Christ Jesus.

Zech 2:8 calls you the apple of his eye.
Romans 8:31 says God is for you.
Heb 12:2 Calls you his joy.
Jer. 29:11 says he has a perfect plan for you.
Gen 1:27 says you were made in his image.
phil: 4:13 says with Christ you can accomplish anything.
Deut 31:8 says that God will never leave you or forske you. You are his forever once you accept the finished work of his Son for yourself.
John 17:9 says that Jesus prays for you.
                       
These are just a few of the verses that God has used in my life to show me I am not who the enemy says I am.
I am who God says I am.
When you begin to look into the wrong mirror, please change courses!
Don't believe the lie.
Believe the truth, from the Author of Truth.

Father, I have been so guilty at times for believing the lies of the enemy of my soul. Will you please forgive me? Will you please continue to strengthen me with your truth, the only truth there is. Cause me to really believe the truth to the very core of my being. it is in the mighty, Holy, and precious name I pray Amen.

When the "Happy" is coupled with the "Hard" { along with a free printable!}

I t has been this way from the beginning. I can remember each instance. My husband coming to Christ and the terrible news that he had to tell me that came along with his decision to follow Christ whole heartedly in order for him to feel completely free.  My good and perfect gift being born and in the N.I.C.U for 9 days with a lung infection. Finding out I was pregnant with good and perfect gift and my husband becoming jobless. Joy girl being born, my Mamma not being able to live to see her born. Being a Mamma trying to parent against AD/HD, Sensory Integration Disorder, O.C.D. Now building a home and my Mother-in-Law being diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. Why does the happy have to be coupled with the hard? God really wants and longs to do the Holy inside each one, inside me! It pulls and stretches and sometimes I feel as if I'm going to be pulled straight through! Humbly, I seek him, trying not to throw the "Why" at Him. Wanting to ask Can't there be "Happy

  Eucharisteo. I type it big and proclaim it everywhere. I proclaim it in the warmth of my home in many ways.                                                                                          It is a word I will never forget. It is the only way to Live and Breathe . This slowing to Give thanks to HIM who grows our faith in the GOOD , the BAD , the MESSY, and the right down gritty parts of daily life.                                      This slowing to Live thanks to Him who was and is and is to come. The one in whom we have our being. I keep it close by, my gratitude journal.  Where I meet with Jesus to live out this Eucharistic life.                                       Me keeping track of all his grace gifts. The good ones, the hard ones, the make you uncomfortable in your own skin ones. The ones that fill you with pure joy, and the ones that make you bend low with your face to floor in utter helplessness. God used one  joy sister to bring

When Marriage And Life Is Just Plain Hard....Keep On Keepin` On!

I guess at some point it becomes this way. It doesn't happen over night. Although your emotions lie to you and say it does. No, it takes time to spiral down. Spending less and less time with one another. The kids always coming in place of the other. No date nights to rekindle the flames that was once there. Your hormones have changed so much since having the kids that it doesn't matter to you really.You just go to bed without even a good night kiss and rollover without having another thought because you are so exhausted from raising your children and being present in just about everything that happened during their day. You look at other couples you know and don't dare  ask the brave question. "Is this how it is for you too?" Would they even be brave back and tell you?  You begin to feel all alone. Wanting to tell someone about how hard things are. Someone you could confide in. Someone who would pray hard for you. For you the "Big D" is not an opt
