Don’t Give Up

Posted on by

I messed up. I mean really really messed up.

It’s one of those times when I took a long hard look at myself and saw my outright mess, rebellion and disobedience staring me face to face. How could I let it get to this point I ask myself?

Regret, shame, guilt, condemnation weighed heavy on my mind.

Ugh.

Can you relate? Have you ever had these same thoughts and feelings?

What do you do when you struggle with these kinds of emotions? Feelings that tell you how awful you are? Do agree with them? Do you have strength to fight them off? If you agree with these demeaning feelings, you’re only going to sink deeper and deeper in the pit of shame. But how in the world do you not allow these thoughts and feelings to control you?

This whole “feelings battle” is something that we will deal with our entire life. It is a war that never goes away and that is why we must learn how to fight it. To know how to fight effectively to win a battle it takes training. Also knowing the opponent you are fighting is key. It is when we don’t know who we are fighting that we are in great danger.

Recently after engaging with this “feelings battle” yet again, I found myself sinking quickly into that pit of shame. In the midst of all my emotions I allowed myself to wallow in them. I knew it was not a good place to be. After about 48 hours of letting myself agree with my feelings and sink deeper into the pit, I noticed even while in my misery I was still putting one foot in front of the other the whole time. I was fighting the battle even though I felt like I was falling deeper.

How was I actually fighting? I kept pursuing God through His word. It was not easy, and I did not immediately “feel” better. I still felt a heaviness of regret and shame through the process. But I did not quit. As I continued moving forward while feeling weighed down, God began showing me clearly, He was here with me every step of the way.

Text message, after text message were unexpectedly popping up left and right. Friends, mentors, clients, and even strangers were speaking life into me. They were speaking the very words of God to me to remind me that God loved me, and He was proud of me. God showed me through them that He was still using me for His divine purpose even in the middle of my mess. He showed me that His grace and forgiveness was irrevocable. That is what the blood covenant is all about.

Dear reader, I share this with you today to first encourage you. Don’t give up on yourself. God loves you and He will never reject you or give up on you. Extend the same love and grace to yourself as He does. Secondly, always remember you are in a battle and the enemy is sneaky trying to still your joy. Do not give him a foothold. Continue to fill your mind with truth every single day. READ THE BIBLE. Find ways to incorporate more scripture throughout your day. For example, download a bible app such as YouVersion on your phone that will notify you with a scripture verse for the day or place scripture around your home. Building a stronger intimate relationship with Christ doesn’t come by chance, it takes intention, but the rewards are far greater than anything you can dare to ask or imagine.

TAKE ACTION: Take the next 5 minutes to add scripture to your life. Place scripture around your home, download a Bible App or replace your phone screen saver with a verse. It’s the little things that will help you renew your mind and create deeper intimacy with Christ.

I’m excited to announce that on October 23 I will be hosting The Write Release Journaling workshop! 

The Write Release Journaling Workshops: Your pen … Your paper … Your legacy

In 2007 my mother-in-law Judy passed away from a long battle with cancer. Everyone who met her felt like they had been in the presence of an angel. She always gave her full attention and listening ear to the person in front of her. Her compassion and unconditional love radiated in every word she spoke. The one word that fully describes who she was is selfless. She was the real hands and feet of Christ.

Judy left behind many things for us, but the most precious gift were her words written on paper. In her very own handwriting we can read at anytime how much she loved us. Her journal is priceless. No amount of money can buy someone’s dreams, thoughts, struggles, fears, faith, etc. – their heart. Journaling was a safe retreat for her to freely express herself. She learned about who she was and who God was in her life.

During her final days as I sat beside her bed examining her delicate fingers pondering all the blessings her hands provided, I was not sure why at the time I was so enthralled with such a seemly small part of an amazing woman. It wasn’t until I sat and read the words she had penned with them. Her journal expressed her everyday life … a gift for her and a gift for us.

Will you join me in the significant release that comes through guided journaling? It is powerful, it is authentic, and it is life changing. It is Judy’s legacy passed to you.

How To Overcome Criticism

Posted on by

Everybody struggles with defeating thoughts; we are not alone in this. The enemy will attack our worth via criticism. We have to stop letting negativity lead us. Instead, take it captive and lead it with the truth.

SpeakHisTruth

Whenever the lies bombard me, I can speak these five truths out loud instead.

1) God will never condemn me. He does not disapprove of me. He does not criticize or blame me. He does not find fault in me (Rom. 8:1–2).

2) God has not given me a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline (2 Tim. 1:7).

3) I am strong, and the word of God lives in me, and I have overcome the evil one (1 John 2:14).

4) I am in perfect peace because I trust in God as my thoughts stay fixed on him (Isa. 26:3).

5) I have been given authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will harm me (Luke 10:19).
