You know what's really neat splash? The fact that noone can truly see us as our Father does In fact that's kind of our own little secret between Him and us. Noone can take away how God feels about us...absolutely noone. How awesome it is to know that we have someone who loves us unconditionally. Sure is powerful knowledge.

And I want you to know...you are a beautiful soul splash, and many love you.

luv ya lots

I'm not in an abusive situation i have a very loving caring husband and parents.

I'm sorry for the person I became
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been

Thanking and praising God lifts me up away from the lies and into a state of freedom.

But you know sis...what you've been is not what you are...cuz God has made some changes in you that are just beautiful. Good to see how thankful you are for the good things the Lord has provided, despite what you've been through. He is blessing you.

luv ya lots

Flying....

He makes all things new, Thank you Jesus!!!

Working at decluttering my house along with my mind... I like the idea of a shrine i guess that will have to continue to be the park or the beach for me though i just don't see Jesus in pictures of angels and stuff like that and going into a closet ummm well that would definitely bring back old memories.

Ordering my days with a schedule and removing the confusion from my heart...

As Jesus' taught us... taking things from spiritual to physical and then into spiritual rebirth (i'm not concerned if that makes sense to no one else this is MY blog)

Things to put on the chart:

I"m trying to stay somewhat balanced with spirit, mind and body for my personal growth and also in my service to others.

Spirit... Praise and thanksgiving.. music...worship...Continue consistent Morning Quiet Time. Consider daily how much Jesus loves me. Serve others spirits by praying and praising with them, sharing the Gospel every chance I get, showing love and forgiveness.

Mind... Replace wrong thoughts with the Word.. Continue daily audio sermon while exercising...For serving other's minds continue teaching Bible study class and children's class and writing letters to christians in prison, te4aching parenting classes at pregnancy center.

Body...Exercise daily @ gym and pool.. develop and maintain routines with household chores and gardening...Serve others' bodies through teaching swim lessons, water exercise, coaching special olympics, serving at soup kitchen and food pantry, sharing pro-life message to women in crisis pregnancy.

I am trying to do too many things at once and feeling like I can't get any oif them done too well but at least i'm making lots of new beginnings and at least i finally got this blog posted (maybe )

And if you have to trim your chart down some, then do so. Don't let yourself become overwhelmed either Cuz when we get too busy, sometimes we miss out on hearing God calling our name....so take a moment to stop and listen throughout your day as well.

Your doing so well splash. Good to see this study working for you.

luv ya

[b] You know sister,...... satan keeps reminding us of our past, our trials, our disappointments, our mistakes and our faults, but you are sure of yourself(thats evident)in Christ!!! You know that all those experiences were educating your heart,mind and soul, and by learning,you can teach and minister so effectively as you do. You are a inspiration to many and admired by all!! Remember... that you so much stronger than you can imagine and you are never alone.You realize that your prayers, praising and thankful heart results in you receiving His joy, and that is your strenght.
Keep your focus and continue on the path that is before you, what is behind is gone, its where you are going that is awesome and take as many of us with you as you can!

Jesus has been rerenewing my mind day by day... I know I'm not yet where I"m goin but i'm not where i used to be either, and that is only because of the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

When I began this journey (not this quest study but long since) I didn't have the ability to resist temptations. I had given free rein to evil spirits through my own decisions to sin so many times that they thought they owned me. Even though I was a Christian, I was living the life of a slave to sin. Because I was a child of God and covered in the blood of Jesus, I had all authority over every evil spirit but instead of walking free in the spirit I was locked in a dungeon of hopelessness and despair.

Before I could break out of the quicksand in which I was floundering, I had to acknowledge that I was daughter of the most high King, creator of the universe; the very one for whom God became man and suffered and died. I had to realize that not only was I lovable but truly cherished and desired as the bride of Jesus. Knowing of his love for me was the motivator to surrendering myself to his cleansing work in me. I renounced the "deals" I'd made with the devil through my wrong sin choices, and contracted myself over to becoming a bond- servant for the Lord.

It's been a long journey during which time I haven't always gone forwards. There have been days when I traveled backwards and days when all I could do was hold my own place and try to stand. But in it all I have cried out to Jesus and asked Him to make me what He wants me to be. More and more He's increased my hunger for His word and made me thirsty for time alone with Him.l As a result, our relationship has grown quite intimate and I've learned to distinguish His still, small voice.

I'm learning the boundaries I have to live behind in order to restist temptations. Primarily, I have to stay in the word and spend time praising God to keep those lingering thoughts from the past from influencing my behavior. There are people I have to avoid altogether or restrict myself from talking to them privately. I'm no longer drinking, which is not only a victory in itself but also helps me have more self-control over other tempations. I know that when I don't exercise, eat healthy, or get enough sleep my mood plummets. When I'm tired, hungry or sad I'm very vulnerable. I know that I don't deal well with spare time and need to maintain scheduled routines throughout my days.

I praise God for the work that He's begun in me, kniowing that He will be faithful to complete it. I will keep pressing on, resisting temptations, keep praising God for His loving mercy.

Thanks for taking the time to read this very wordy blog! I love ya!.

Hey girl I really enjoyed reading your blog today. I think we can all relate to having to remove things from our life that are triggers for temptations. See our enemy has us all figured out...and he knows what will get us, so he throws out lures through other people, places or things. If we see one of these, ahead, we immediately need to detour down the next street before we reach these things. Therefore we are choosing to resist the temptation, and in turn God will bring blessings on us. He loves us so much, and He will reward us for fighting the good fight.

It's good to hear that you are controlling the temptation of drinking. This is a huge step sis. He is so proud of you.

Keep fighting sis. Your doing great.

luv ya
