"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body."
The past few days have been very difficult. Things that happened on Sunday that were horrifying to me but I am not ready to write about it (no, it didn't involve my STBX). But this Scripture keeps coming to me. I just wanted to share it with you all. I don't know what the future holds but I know Who holds the future. My tendency is to sit back until I have the whole picture figured out and then act. But that's not working for me. I have to stay active, step out in faith, even in just the little steps that I know how to do. I believe that as I go along, doing my part in this partnership with God to secure this family's well being and in myself being refined as a woman, things will fall into place. I can't let this transition time beat me. I must fight and win decisively. I must choose my battles wisely. I must allow myself to be edited by God where necessary
My prayer every day is: "Lord, make a way where there is no way. Make streams in the desert. Make a bridge over the raging waters. Secure my fortress. Make the boundary lines fall in pleasant places. Carry my lambs in Your arms. Gently lead me."

Beautiful Scripture, I am praying everything works out!
I just read your last couple of posts. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I hope all will work out.
That is such a promising scripture and prayer. I don't know why you have to walk this difficult road right now and as our preacher reminded me on Sunday, we like Job may never know why but God does. I pray that you are able to continue to hold firm to his loving powerful hand even as life rages around you.
Thank you for sharing your faith. I hope everything works out well.
Thanks for sharing this. I agree with just doing that next little thing that we know, to step out in faith and obedience. Keep on going.
Hang in there, sweetie. Still prayin'. As Joel Osteen said, if God is making the path straight before us, and if surely goodness and mercy shall follow us, and the glory of the Lord is round about us, then we're in a good place!
