Bag Lady

I am the Christian woman with the baggage. The woman some believe is on the verge of a breakdown or who might blow up at anytime, but thanks be to God for my breakthrough. So go ahead and talk about my baggage if you wish, but you see, the Lord has helped me to pack these bags, and when need be I can pull out just what I need. Like trusting in the Lord, being patient and waiting upon him, knowing that it is his will and not my own, and enduring until the end. And that is just to name a few of the things that are in my bags. See there are more spiritual gifts inside of me, than there have been trials in my life. There is faith, hope, peace and joy, and there is love. There is kindness, forgivingness and longsuffering along with humility and humbleness. And yes, I got Jesus’ grace and mercy in these bags, too. And what’s amazing is, the more God gives me, the lighter my bags become. So it is really all about what I choose, or you choose to pull out of your bags. I just choose to pull out those things that God has given to me, those things that have brought me through.
GOOD NEWS: 2 CORINTHIANS 4: 16-18 For this reason we never become discouraged. Even though our physical being is gradually decaying, yet our spiritual being is renewed day after day. And this small and temporary trouble we suffer will bring us a tremendous and eternal glory, much greater than the trouble. For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what can not be seen lasts forever .
