You know that moment??
When all of the lies you have been believing about where you are and where you are destined to go are blown out of the water?
I just had one of those moments, sitting in my comfy chair listening to 70’s music. I know where God has been calling me; FAR out of my comfort zone. Into this writing, sharing, being a people person zone. I can be a people person, if I know you well I will talk your ear off, but if I don’t I will be a wallflower. That fear/lie of being rejected, of not being enough or too much is one I have lived with for a very long time and if I have never really written or shared emotions GASP! then the lie is comfortable.
But God is one of my very favorite phrases in the world. But God has bigger and much better plans for me and for you. He doesn’t want you believing the lie that you are not good enough for whatever task He has laid on your heart. If we are going to move forward then we need to lean on His strength and grace, which was His plan from the beginning.
I am going to leave you with this verse from Psalm 73:26:
My flesh and heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. (emphasis mine)

Oh, Sara, you are such an encouragement to me. I have spent much of my life feeling the same way. I love you for your honesty and your heart. God is already using you to further His kingdom and encourage His people. Thank you, my friend.

Thank you Donna for being just as much of an encouragement to me. Will continue to pray against the lies that still want to hold us bound will be replaced by His Truth.
