I Know

I know the struggle inside of you right now.  The pain.  The stress.  The unhappiness.  The fatigue from just trying to please everyone.  I know you are weak.  I know you are questioning me. I know you are ready to quit.  But don't.  I hear you.  I have heard every single cry.  I've seen you on your knees.  I hear your prayers, your concerns and worries.  I know you are coming to me desperately wanting help.  For strength. For wisdom.  For guidance.  I know how hard it is in this season.  

 I know you feel unloved.  But you're not.  I know you feel like you aren't good enough.  But you are.  I know you feel undesirable.  But you are so loved.  I know you feel unattractive.  But you are beautiful.  I know you feel like a failure in all areas. In your past, your marriage, in your relationships, in raising your children.  Failing is part of the journey.  You won't always get it right.  But you're not a failure.  

Everything you are feeling in this season are lies from the enemy.  Lies to try and break you.  To shake your faith.  To put a strain in your family.  A strain on your life, and to try and create a wedge in your relationship with me.  The lies are an attack on your faith and trust in me, your God.  Arm yourself from these attacks with My word and denounce the lies in My name the moment they present themselves.  You will get through this season.  You will learn and grow from every moment of pain and struggle; just as you've always done.  You can lean on me as much as you need and I will be here for you always.    

-God

Thank You, God, for Making Me a Mom

Looking back on my life, when I was just a small girl, I dreamt of becoming a mother one day. Being a mom was the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up.  I didn't have aspirations to be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher.  I simply wanted to be a mom.  So today, I am so thankful to my God.  He is the one who allowed my childhood dream of motherhood to come true. I am truly humbled that he picked me to be Cody and Owen's mommy. I come from a lineage of women who set the perfect example of what it is to be a great mom. The love of a mother is endless, as my mom, continues to show me even as I am an adult and have children of my own.   Today is the day we celebrate our moms and all of their hard work.  To show our appreciation to the one who has cared for us and loved us from day one.  As I celebrate my mother and all she continues to do, I am also reflecting upon my God.  What a mighty God we serve.  It's because of His blessin...

Do You Know Me?

I know you don't know me, but I know you.  I know every single detail of your life.  Every scraped knee, every tear shed; I know every single strand of hair on your head.  You see, I knew you before you were knit together in your mother's womb.  I know you feel a nudge; you have this longing for something more-something greater.  I know you are struggling.  I know you are about ready to give up.  Don't. Your family loves you, like I love you.  Just like they are my children, you are my child too. You see, I am your Heavenly Father, your creator; I'm your biggest fan.  I have been watching over you and your life.  I've placed people in your path to show you My love for you.  Your family are My hands and My feet.  Because I can't physically be there with you, I've put them in My place to show you My love.  They are praying for you.  They hurt with you.  They don't want you to be lost and struggling on your own an...

Joy in the Face Of

Living with joy in the face of… I didn’t just wake up with joy one day.  I couldn’t feel it and I didn’t want it.  All I wanted was what my heart wanted and that’s all I could see.  The truth is, living with joy in the face of seems almost impossible, right; at least when you’re in the thick of it.  That is what I thought when this parental alienation started.  When I went from being able to speak to my children and hold them in my arms to nothing, I thought this was what would break me and snuff out my light.   But here I am, twenty-one months later, and I’m living with joy in the face of.  What I didn’t know in the beginning of it all was that the pain I felt combined with the joy I would soon allow to consume me, would work together in a way that even I can’t fathom just yet.  The two, would catapult my faith to a place it needed to go in order to see a perspective I couldn’t yet see.   The pain and joy working together trans...
