Quest for Rest

Postby splash » Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:00 pm

I'm not real sure it's wise at this point to bring back to mind what has been dealt with and forgiven and put behind but ...

i figured it wouldn't hurt and maybe help me help others even though i don't really need it myself ...

so why i am in tears having to remind myself to breath as i read through step one i can't imagine...

is there really any hope for rest

Well here you are :) You know something. Those tears you are experiencing those are from a past that hasn't fully healed as you thought it should have. See maybe you've just hidden the past in a closet, and figure out of sight out of mind...but in reality, when brought back to the present you see some skeletons that you didn't quite deal with when you thought you were healed.

Now, as you go along this journey sis, there maybe some tough times, but as you said, it's not just for your healing but for the hope that someone else might just receive a blessing from your sharing as well. I'm sorry that you've been hurt in your past. I'd love to just reach out and take all that pain from you...but I can't....but Jesus can. Grab on to His hand sis, as you go along and He will guide you through the tough moments, lifting you and carrying you when needed.

Good to see you beginning the quest sis.

luv ya *hug*

Splash *hug* sister

You give and give and give, but do you ever relax and rest in the love of our Lord?

We are alike in this way. Aways giving and never to just be in the presence of our daddy God.

This is where you will find the healing and the restoration you need.

Love you dearly!
*angel7* Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith looks up! Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us.

Sanctus Real : Whatever Your Doing Lyrics


It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time to make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
And all I can do is surrender

(Chorus)
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something Heavenly

Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Reevaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow Your will
Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is You want from me
I give everything I surrender...
To...

(Chorus)

Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out

That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears


Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This *is* something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly
Something Heavenly

It's time to face up
Clean this old house
Time *to* breathe in and let everything out


Song came to mind thinking about ya..love ya.. ;)

Wow the outpouring of love from you all is truly appreciated. I love you all sooo much. What wonderful lyrics in that song, I don't know how you find them Childs!

Listen to what Jesus said this morning:

"But i have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. Ps 131:2

Verses on Thougthts

Postby splash » Thu Mar 12, 2009 8:38 am

What's on your mind?.

Psalm 139:23-24 : 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Philippians 2:5 : Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

10With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

11Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Ezekiel 11:5, 12 : 5And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel : for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.

So wicked and evil ways plague your thoughts today. How about replacing those thoughts with new thoughts of purity.

James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

1 John 3:3
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Psalms 119:140
Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

Proverbs 30:5
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Psalms 12:6
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Psalms 19:8
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Just remember, pull out the weeds of the thoughts that harm you and replace them with good thoughts...thoughts of the Lord.

luv ya sis

step 2

Postby splash » Thu Mar 12, 2009 3:50 pm

oooh awesome scriptures thank you mlg. Actually someone asked for some verses on thoughts and i had copied those from the book, What's on Your Mind, so i figured this was a good place to post them.

So for step 2... was what happened to me normal? I wasn't violated by an adult but by an older child who, although he (and I) knew it was wrong, I think my parents felt like "kids will be kids" and "playing doctor" is normal and he just went too far ... and to be honest i probably didn't tell them the whole truth (well i know i never told them the whole truth)... and there was always the attitude of stop whining and tattling boys are just like that... oh and this one "he wouldn't do that if he didn't love you" ... or they didn't want to admit what was happening to me or maybe since neither of them grew up with siblings of the opposite sex they thought that physical, mental, verbal, and sexual abuse is normal. So yeah, i've had to forgive my parents for not protecting me as well as forgive the guy and forgive myself for being so weak and not standing up for myself. But what satan meant for my harm, God has turned out for the good of the kingdom. I'm an advocate for the small, the weak, the quiet, the voiceless. I'm not so weak anymore, have you noticed? (makes a muscle)

Unconditional love... is something only Jesus can do. I try to be available for him to do His thing through me but flesh gets in the way and perverts it everytime.
