i realize that before i set limitations for myself out of fear. out of not believing enough that God's made me capable of achieving "insurmountable" dreams. when i start to dare to think that a dream is possible, Satan squashes my enthusiasm and optimism by attacking my self-esteem, my abilities, and therefore my vision and fire diminish, leaving me instead with a mediocre life. granted, one that God still uses, sine He is good. but one that could be oh so much more and one that could reach and bless so many more people.
well, not anymore. if God literally held me away from Death's grasp, and granted me wholeness, then whom am i to fear? of what limitations and temptations and trials am i afraid of? there is nothing. more pain will come. more frustrations. more wrenching losses. yet the Almighty stands with me. why tremble? why doubt? when the darkness of my own mind falls, i pray that the light of His truth will permeate it, and ultimately, vanquish it. thank Jesus for the sweet, firm words of that who love me, that help me not to sink. that is what God intended the Church for anyway. for that i am grateful.

About Me
Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous. ~Carrie~
...it's hard to wait around for something that you know might never happen. but it's even harder to give up when you know it's everything you want.
my favorite verse
Zeph. 3:17
"The LORD your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with his love,
He will rejoice over you with singing."
"The LORD your God is with you,

I love this. It makes me realize that it is so true. The Word says God has not given us a spirit of fear. It is a verse I tell my kids all the time but sometimes I fail to grasp that myself. We are children of the Almighty God, what on Earth should we fear. Nothing. God has blessed us with this life and we choose how we use it. I choose how I use mine. Will I raise my kids to do the same? I hope so. Will you change the world with your awesome testimony and the gifts God has given you? I hope so too!!!Have an awesome day!
