The voice within

The voice within tears me down
When I let it
The voice within breaks my own heart
When I let it
The voice within tells me I'm not worth it
When I let it

The voice within needs
New words
New thoughts 
New truths 

Over and over
Letter by letter
Truth by truth

Read it
Speak it
Believe it

Faith (in me) comes by hearing
And hearing by the Word of God

Chosen
Loved
Redeemed
Righteous 
Cherished
Daughter of the Most High

Renewed mind
Renewed heart 
Renewed strength

Who am I?

Who am I?
Take this quiz
Take this test

All in fun, but aren't we all looking for answers, affirmations?

Tell me who I am
Smart?
Sexy?
Fun?
What kind of friend?
What kind of mom?
What kind of woman?
What kind of man?

Who am I?
Answers truly only found within

Within us
Within Christ 
Within His Word

True selves revealed when we look in the right places.

Roads

Don't look back they say
You aren't going that way 

But looking back can be a blessing
See where you have come?

Rocky roads
Smooth roads
Dark roads 
Colorful roads

All have led you to where you are now
It's ok to look back with thankfulnes

He has blessed you 
He has protected you 
He has helped you grow

Look back on the road that brought you here

Right now
To this very time and place 

A divine purpose for it all

Only in Him

Only in Him do I find my strength 
Only in Him do I find my purpose
Only in Him do I find who I am

I am nothing without my Father
Adrift at sea
Tossed
Turned

Fix my eyes on Him
Storms my rage in me
He brings me peace and clarity

My life in Him
Complete

Seasons

Seasons
Moments

Life always changing
Always flowing

Some people with you for a moment
Some for a lifetime
Connected for a purpose, for such a time as this. 

Something always to be learned 
Teach us about ourselves 
Who we are 
What we need 
What we need to change

Trusting God with who needs to be in my life. 
Part of His purpose
Part of His plan

Tug of war

Give it...
Take it back
Give it...
Take it back

Tug of war between my will and my spirit

I'm frustrated with His timing
I'm frustrated with not knowing 

Show me something!
Give me something!

He who promised is faithful (Heb. 10:23)

Oh. Yeah. 

You will accomplish what concerns me (Ps 138:8)

Ok 
Giving it back
Your will be done

If I try

If I try to plant
My hopes
My dreams
My desires 
The chance of them not coming to fruition is great. 

If I give them to my God, my Father
He plants
He waters
He brings the sun

They grow
They flourish 

Only in the hands of my Father can my dreams come true.
