Hello my friends,
I wanted to share part of my heart with you today. I have been struggling recently with many big decisions and recent experiences in my life and it is tough not having another female to talk to on a regular basis who understands what you're going through. My husband is a sweetie, but he's not a woman and it has been difficult not being able to open up to someone about some of these tough circumstances. We as women tend to view life differently than men and I must say, there is nothing like having a group of ladies that you can trust and rely on for undivided attention, loyalty and support. In the last few weeks I've experienced joy, defeat, praise, humility, deception and betrayal from a friend, parenting choices, homeschooling choices, amazing opportunities, and extremely difficult challenges. It has been an overwhelming time and if it weren't for the Lord's grace in introducing me to the sweet bunch of ladies from my facebook testing group - full of bright, caring business-minded women, I'm not sure I would still have my sanity. Thank you ladies for your constant love and support! Hugs!
During this journey through the trials, God has provided a huge amount of comfort through His Holy Word that I try to share with you often on the Facebook Fan Page. He has also given me choices to make me stretch my personal beliefs, deepen my relationship with Him, and help me focus on what matters to me most in this life. Have you ever thought about the crazy merri-go-round this life can be when its spinning out of control and all hope seems lost to make it stop? Sometimes I just want to yell out, "Let me off!", but alas ...things don't work that way. I'm here to tell you that you can't hide from your pain. You can't hide from the hurt or the trials that you face. You can avoid them for only a time and they will resurface much greater a problem and more difficult to solve.
I am a peacemaker by nature and it's my pleasure and natural reaction to smooth over tough situations and find a creative way to make them better. Well, unfortunately this time...my methods just won't work. I have to face the battles head on. I have to fight quietly, gently and in a Christ-like manner to stand up for what I believe in and yet not distract from what the basic premise of living the Christian life is all about. God loves us in a mighty way and He provided His Word, the Bible, to be a guide map to life here on Earth. If you need questions answered, encouragement, wisdom, understanding, healing, comfort, or just reassurance that He is there and that He cares for you, I urge you to spend time reading the Bible today. Pray to our Heavenly Father and ask Him to help you gain understanding to your trials and guide your steps and choices in this world. His master plan is always the best one to follow after. :) It gives the ultimate sense of peace.
Here is a list of some verses that I feel are very helpful in difficult times. I hope they will be a blessing to your heart. If ever you need someone to share prayer or praises with, talk to, share life's experiences with, or bounce ideas off of, ...I'm happy to be a listening ear and a friendly adviser. God bless you this week as you face life's battles head on, without fear and trembling, but with confidence and courage knowing God is with you to help see you through - no matter the outcome. I also pray if it is His will, that He sends you someone to share with and be that encourager needed in your life to help the days pass with less anxiety and stress. God bless you my friends.
