Dear young one,
Let me start by saying you are extremely loved, with a passion so great in all the years of your life you won’t comprehend it. Not the self destructive, ego stroking love that you will look for in others to give you, but a powerful love that will change everything you thought you knew about it. You are special, and needed, no one can take this from you because they didn’t create you.
First try at red lip, not so bad:)
I Love this shoe!
Dear young one,
Let me start by saying you are extremely loved, with a passion so great in all the years of your life you won’t comprehend it. Not the self destructive, ego stroking love that you will look for in others to give you, but a powerful love that will change everything you thought you knew about it. You are special, and needed, no one can take this from you because they didn’t create you. Your body is such a prize to be won and only your husband deserves it. Unworthy guys will try and tell you things that will connect to the emptiness you feel inside, that will ultimately lead to you thinking that they really love you, resulting from you never feeling loved. Real love will come and when it does you will recognize it. Listen to your parents they love you and have your best interest at heart. They have been through what you are now going through and they know the outcome. You deserve to experience everything God has for you in life and you can. Anything is possible, there will be people and circumstances that will try and portray otherwise, don’t listen soon you will see the truth. Hold on in tough times, they come to strengthen your faith; everything you need has already been placed on the inside of you to overcome everything fighting against your success. You don’t need people’s approval to be you, be your true authentic self and protect it like a mother protects her child. Life is not easy but it was not meant to defeat you. Your greatest blessing will be the little person God will grace you to have. He will bless your life in ways you won’t even understand in the beginning. You will be the nurturing mother he needs to make up for the absense of his dad and he will love you for it. God has given you a gift and a task that no one else will be able to fulfill. The road that you think is wise and right will ultimately lead you to your knees crying to God and praying for help, but don’t fret, he will do it. You’re going to have to face some things and rebuild, restore, renew and believe and have faith. But keep going girl, don’t stop. You are a talented writer, and will do great things and help to heal hurting people along the way. You will be a virtuous woman of God. Your mistakes will not hinder you, but help you. Your Future will be greater than your past and great things lye ahead of you.
As I re-read Joyce Meyer’s bestselling “Battlefield of the Mind”, my emotions kick into high gear and I start to get excited and take notes. The information that I’m receiving once again, considering I’ve read it before, is like my first time hearing it. I think that sometimes we can become so comfortable with thinking we know something and we’ve got it. I read this book some time ago, and apparently had forgotten some of the key points within it dealing with your thoughts and mind. This area has proved to be by far the hardest thing to conquer in my christian walk. But God is faithful to his word and promise that i will be free from all oppression and that I have a sound mind so I take Him at his word. Even still with me knowing the end result of his promise, the journey there is still no easier. Not because God is not faithful, or he has cursed me to go through this to make me stronger. Now going through will increase my faith and make me strong in some areas but the fact that I must face is I am in this position because as a child the enemy started to devise a plan against my life, he planted seeds of lies and deceit with the intent of destruction. Over and over again in a span of many years he has fed people lies, and when you don’t have the knowledge of God and who he says you are and what you will become, you don’t have much to fight with against the enemy. So as the word of God says, My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6) . As long as the enemy can keep us from getting the knowledge of God, he can keep us in this entrapment of the mind, and many of us don’t realize this until a lot later in life. After you have gone through so much and retained so much false information to the point where your mind has be trained to think the opposite of what God has said. Now 10, 20. and maybe even 30 years later, you realize this and try to change, undoing 30 years worth of training. Without God this would be impossible, but thanks be to God that he is able to do above and beyond all we can ever ask or imagine according to his power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20). Without God’s help, we would be in pretty bad shape, he gives us the tools and uses His power to help us along the way. Some days it may feel like you’re alone but he also says Never will I leave you;never will I forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5). This journey may seem like it will never end, but there is breakthrough coming, if you just keep going, keep pushing, in your time of weakness is when he is strong, rely on, trust in, and believe in Him. The enemy or any thought he tries to implant can’t stand up against his power. This daily process of renewing the mind is just that, a PROCESS, it will not happen over night, but it will happen. God has said it, and he can’t lie. The enemy is the father of lies, get acquainted with the word of God, know it, live it, apply it, and there will be nothing that you can’t overcome with God backing you.
