Practicing HIS Truths over my feelings

Tonight I had the AWESOME opportunity to speak with the sweet mamas of Generation M.  I cannot begin to tell you what great encouragement it is for my soul to speak out loud God's Word to these mamas, or here on this blog to all of you.  It encourages me to believe HIS Truth over what I am experiencing (feeling).  I am forced to refocus my eyes on HIM, and less on me and what I am going through.  This is therapy for my aching soul!  HE is the ONE who can quiet the storm with a word (Mark 4:35-41).  HE is the ONE who can bind up my broken heart (Psalm 147:3).  HE is the ONE who can tell me great and incomprehensible things that I do not know (Jeremiah 33:3).   I pray that you are encouraged by HIS living, breathing, active Word, as I am (Hebrews 4:12)!     The Offering of My "Only":   "When evening came, the disciples approached Him and said, “This place is a wilderness, and it is already...

I wrote this nine weeks ago according to the Instagram time log. My soul is currently in deep anguish and these words of mine (really HIS Words to me), are now reminders of HIS Way and healing for my weary soul. Oh, that I would cling to HIS Truth. Oh, that I would teach our children to look to their Heavenly Father when they cannot hear, feel, experience, be led by their earthly Father! Amazing how HE prepared me for this time (I hate admitting that...because this all seems SO wrong!)! Rinse and Repeat....."HE is faithful, but we must be looking for it!" My prayer is that you would build your life on that solid rock (Jesus Christ), so that when life's storms come your way, you will not be destroyed (Matthew 7:24-25)! In one instance the temporal things of this world are dashed and the eternal is all that matters! Here is my post from nine weeks ago: Then I wake up to a day that tempts me to despair. My flesh is screaming to be ruled by my emotions and insecu...
