Hide and Seek
It's been hard to write lately. I've been stressed to the max. Not because of any particular thing or another, but just because life. How easy it has been to focus on the hard, the daunting task of taking care of a family. Dishes have to be washed, lunches have to be packed, clothes have to be cleaned and put away, children are messy creatures in and of themselves, husbands too :) Life itself can get you down and even the most positive person can get lost in their sea of thoughts.
I can't do this anymore
It's always going to be this way
Why is this happening to me?
I wish I could just have it easy for once.
Your thoughts can take you wherever you let them go. The enemy is going to stay right there in your mind and tell you everything you want to hear,. He's going to be on your side because he is the ultimate manipulator and when you are in those times of distress and weariness he's gonna keep feeding you. Feeding you all the lies you want to hear and want to believe to continue to stay in your self-wallowing.
So how do you get out? How do you keep yourself from spiraling into the abyss of negativity and feeling downtrodden? TRUTH. Truth will keep you in check. Soak yourself in it, until you are dripping with the words of the Lord. Until you are soaking wet. That with every step you take water from the Word leaves little droplets along your path. When you do this, it's impossible to stay where you are in the depths of self-pity. Why? Because when Truth is your guide, you will see just who your God is and how much he loves you, and just how you don't have to let the enemy win. Every step, baby or giant, when taken in Truth allows us to see our blessings, small moments of victory are our game-changers. It's our way of changing from woe is me to how blessed am I?!
Ask and it will be given, Seek and you will find, Knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7
Don't hide. Go seek!
With love,
