The garbage was picked up today, A relief.

Wednesday, March 25, 2009
I couldn't do this alone! That's for sure!
God is my stregth, He helped me up when I was down! Wow!

It's normal human emotions to feel like you've gone crazy after you were left out of the blue, with nothing to come home to. When things are said, and makes it even worse. And your financial status is depleted. The "crazy" inside is a normal reaction.
But now, as I lift my hands up high!!!... I'm thankful for the... well, trashman.
I was living a life of sin when I was married. I was in denial. Denial about not saying no about certain things because I was blinded by love. I would have done ANYTHING for that man. Anything! I should have put you first! I didn't. I let physical love take control of my life. When all I needed was spiritual love.

Today has been a WONDERFUL day!

Some thoughts had hit me hard while at church tonight. How in the world could it have linked to my situation!!!

***Feelings aren't true. Feelings aren't facts.

Good Advice: We could look at "trouble" as evil stuff OR we could look at "trouble" as a learning experience!

And passing over this Scripture today gave me chills down my spine!...

Don't be afraid, because you will not be ashamed.
Don't be embarassed, because you will not be disgraced.
You will forget the shame you felt earlier;
you will not remember the shame you felt when you lost your husband.

The God who made you is like your husband.
His name is the Lord All Powerful.
The Holy One of Isreal is the one who saves you.
He is called the God of all the earth.

You were like a woman whose husband left her,
and you were very sad.
You were like a wife who married young
and then her husband left her.
But the Lord called you to be his, says your God

God says I left you for a short time,
but with great kindness I will being you back again.

I became very angry and hid from you for a time,
but I will show you mercy with kindness forever,
says the Lord who saves you.

Isaiah 54:4-8

  1. Goodness Gracious!! Julie, isn't that an awesome verse? This passage has a special place for me as well. Of coarse, Im not married,(lol) but because it promises me that God will be my husband and I have no need to fear. What an awesome God we serve!

    And you are exactly right, the feelings that take control are JUST feelings/emotions they come and go like the wind. I had to learn this lesson a while back through a book that I read called "Living the Cross Centered Life". You should look at it, it will keep you encouraged to put it all into perspective. I am excited to see your growth and thankful to God for your perservering encouragement to me and others in hard positions. Let's be found faithful to Jesus Christ!

    Love you girlie!
