Been There, Done That

I've been having a funky week since Tuesday, vacillating between up, down, and around. Feeling the kind of desolation some say a child of God shouldn't feel.

To them I say...Bah humbug! It's that train of thought that traps us into walking around pretending we've got our act together, while slowly splintering inside. Been there, done that...writing the memoir.

I'm here to tell you today that there's nothing wrong with your spiritual walk if you feel lost, alone, afraid, abandoned or whatever your feeling of the moment may be. As long as you're on this earth, you and I are privy to all the emotional fallouts that assail the good, the bad, the ugly and yes--the Godly.

But, unlike the ungodly, we have promises just for these moments in life:

Sad?
Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Stuck?
There's a time and purpose for everything under heaven.

Abandoned?
When your mother and father forsake you, the Lord will take you up.

Scared?
Lo, I am with you...always.

Threatened?
No weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Inadequate?
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Questioning?
All things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose!

I don’t know about you, but I'm starting to feel better already.

Have a blessed day folks!

Peace,
Dee
