I read this bible verse today and it cut right down to the core of me... in a way that I haven't felt in a very long time... it's very comforting and I feel so close to God, like He's using this to reach me in a big way:
7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from...
From this past abuse... I'm taking it day by day to heal. I'm a good deal stronger, healthier, more at peace now than I was a year ago. So I know that being patient and taking the time to just let God sift through everything and purify me is truly worth it and that progress is being achieved...
I just watched The Grace Card. Wonderful movie... it moved me to tears, I was bawling by the end of it. As I sit here with my flimsy, metal head massager... my feet placed in my plush, cushioned vibrating foot massager... a vibrating massage pillow on my back... the gentle, soothing sounds of...
I'm on the road to recovery, so as I said before, I need to be mindful of the company that I keep... even more so than I would be normally. I was gaslighted for so long... that right now, I just need to focus on reestablishing truth, reestablishing what I believe (or rather reestablishing why...
Ugh. I should be in the bed right now. But I feel like I've reached a "breaking point" where I'm breaking out of a bondage that I've been in for the past few years. I'm back... it's no longer simply me existing, but I feel like me again; I may still be very tired much of the time, but my...
Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a...
I'm realizing... I took so many blows at work, started to see stars at some point (figuratively speaking), yet tried my hardest to remain hopeful and give a Godly response through it all. And, you know, I'm under no illusion that I handled everything perfectly (or could have even if I'd tried...
"Be Still, My Soul"
Ginny Owens version
Be still, my soul,
The Lord is on your side.
Bear patiently, the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to your God, to order and provide.
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul,
Your best your heavenly friend,
Through thorny ways leads to a...
May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in.
Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything.
Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting...
[Taken from: The Ultimate Goal of the Marriage Union, article by Good News Editor]
There is more to this physical union than what is commonly experienced. Whether one marries or remains single, God wants us to understand there are spiritual implications to the marriage relationship.

MARRIAGE AS GOD CREATED AND INTENDED FOR IT TO BE
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in...
I'm taking this coming week off from work so that I can relax some, but also get some things accomplished. (Maybe writing a blog about this - that everyone can see [but probably doesn't want to!] - will motivate me to stay on task!)
TO-DO LIST

This morning on the way to work, I had a great talk with God. I thanked Him for taking care of me through everything and for healing me. I thanked Him for hearing my prayers and others' yesterday and coming time my aid. Then I asked Him specifically to help me to no longer struggle with...
All day I've been randomly thinking... "Pathetic. Wah, wah, wah. Whiny baby." This is due to my prayer request I posted this morning. But... with each time I've talked down to myself I've recognized the negativity and the lie and given a rebuttal against it. Rebuttal, rebuttal, rebuttal...
God, I just want to say thank You. Thank You that You are healing me. I don't have much else to say tonight... I can feel You purging me of all the junk I've been struggling with for so long, and well, it's been a while since I've had so little to think about at once, not too used to this. My...
In my devotional Bible tonight I was reading about being the victim of injustice. It can test the very roots of your faith. Even David faced these unfair situations where he saw his enemies prosper while he suffered at their expense. I've been stuck in this spot for several years. Sometimes...
"Rend"
Jimmy Needham
You’ve been tarnished
And you’ve been stained
And all the varnish you’ve used to cover up with is peeling away
Yet even now, return to me with nothing less
Than your wounded, broken heart
And cling to Me, your gracious King
Be shattered glass of empty jars and rend...
God,
I can't sleep... I have too much on my mind. God, is it wrong that I strongly desire to be married? It's not like I want just anyone... it's not like I just want A man. I want the person that You have for me. I really don't feel like I'm just seeking to feel a hole inside of myself...
I'm so confused. I'm not even sure what I'm confused about. I just feel so clueless about men and relationships... I feel like I'm never going to get a clue unless I get out there and date more... date men who are good Christian men who will not drag me down, be more sure of their character...
I'm so cautious when it comes to men. It's taken me entirely too long to get back up after... ugh. I already seem to feel things more deeply than a lot of people... so it was agonizing. After him, I'm skeptical about most all of them. I hate to sound sexist, I'm really not. And I hate that...
