Healing

I had such a wonderful day today, praise God! I have the day off from work, and I started this morning deciding that I was gonna go for a drive with my mother and sister, and go see a church. It's the oldest wooden church in the region where I live.

I was a bit stressed though, because I'm still battling so much anxiety. So I prayed about it, and asked God to make this day go according to His will. I always do. I then felt an overwhelming feeling of rest coming over me. He was telling me to just enjoy the day. So I did.

He blessed it so much. We stopped somewhere and I took a walk in the forest by myself, and I saw this narrow path that led to a gate to a pasture. I followed it, then walked up a hill and suddenly saw four or five deer leaping around. Away from me, because I scared them, but they were beautiful. I rarely get to see wild animals up close. And I was reminded of 2 Samuel 22:33-35 "It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze."

I felt so secure. God does so many beautiful things all the time. He is such a good Father, and when He wants to comfort His children, He really knows exactly what to do. :)

Then as we were driving, we heard an eagle scream. They are rare where I live. So we stopped the car and looked at them. There were two of them soaring above us and they were so beautiful. And I was reminded of:

"Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31

I'm in tears, because I feel so loved. God helped me overcome a lot of pain today as well. From the abusive man I dated last year. He really damaged me so much, I've been in such unbelievable pain. I was trying to live for God, but Satan used him to hurt me so much, and then everything else fell apart... Then I looked in the mirror today and I finally saw myself again. Light in my eyes. God's light. I saw no pain or anxiety, because I felt so alive at the moment. I am so grateful that the Lord has taken such good care of me, healed me and restored my soul.

Praise Jesus, He is doing so much for me.

Here is the church:
