Ya'll have been so great in supporting me.
Like I've said before ... it's been tough but I have been cheered on by such a great cloud of witnesses
I have a few other challenges at my door at the moment. One of them is to keep feeding the TRUTH that God has replaced the enemy's lies with. It is so very difficult. I guess I need to still renew my mind every day until the Truth has stuck in my heart. I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and I was like ... UGH. I have to keep remembering that I am made in His image (hope He doesn't mind cellulite *rofl* )
One thing i have learnt in the counseling is ... don't compare myself with other people's lives. God uses me UNIQUELY and His plans for me are UNIQUE.
Sometimes it so easy to see how God works in other people's lives. Yes, I admit i tend to compare my life to other people .. I sometimes wonder ... why are THEIR prayers always answered or why are THEY always blessed financially?
How sill can we be sometimes huh?
My goal is to ACCEPT my portion. It is hard.

Poe, we definitely have to try hard not to compare ourselves with others. When we start comparing ourselves, we never measure up, so instead of comparing yourself with others, ask God to continue to refine you into what He wants you to be. Accepting one's own portion is a must.
luv ya so much poe. Glad to see u are continuing the journal.

It does mah Mooner, but to be honest I don't know if I want to or even CAN look for that fishbone at the moment. I am just so tired ad weary.
I prolly sound like a petulant child ... but it's just ... for now ... can I not have even a day's break from all this stuff that is happening?
I am tired and battle-weary.

Poe, remember when the Israelites had to wander in the wilderness, because they were so discontent with their current situation that God had placed them in? Instead of turning to God and praying that His will would be done, they groaned and grumbled until God was unhappy with them.
Sis to find that fishbone that moon is talking about...you have to turn to God and allow His will to be done. Accept His will, and then you will find the fishbone.
luv ya

Heyas sis. Yes I know I need to allow God to help and all that and I am so willing to do that, but I just feel so battle-weary. Even a 5-minute break would be so awesome. Know what I mean. I am NOT unwilling ... please don't think that. That is not the issue at all.
I just feel like the pressures are pushing me from all sides ... and I am not sure I can take much more.
But I will go on.

Hello Poe,
God made you a passionate soul. He made you extremely sensitive, for a purpose -- His purpose.
When your spirit is in full flavor of His Spirit -- and wooooooooping it up with Him, you see, hear and feel (experience) things that some only dream of. However, on the other end of the spectrum, your slumps can "feel" deeper and can "feel" more disparaging.
So, what does one do when life is beating ya up and your soul is weary and your flesh is dragging? One must choose to believe in faith. Believe that The Lord is in control, and pray that patience will come in it's fullness, and that the Comforter will rain upon you.
Speaking out when the flesh/carnal mind is struggling, can end up sounding like a drama queen. Sorry, but it can. And then because we, ourselves, hear it -- our own spirit identifies (discerns) it as such, but it makes us our carnal mind a little more desperate and we are tempted to say more, and if we do -- it sounds even worse. And then if others share with us from a spirit of love -- we can mistakenly receive/hear it as condemnation. This flesh cannot be trusted to receive anything correctly. Soooooooo, the cycle of torture gains more momentum and begins spinning out of control.
Poe, rest in Him. Take several deep breaths and rest in Him. This is not your end. You are not alone. God is right there with you. Talk to Him.
I'm praying for you, and I'm excited, in advance, for you, because I know The Lord will restore you, and you will once again dance in His presence.
God's blessed will be done.
God bless you and keep you.
Love and hugs,
Mack
