" For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."

2 Timothy 1:7

How often to words manifest. I am striving to have the my thoughts held captive, in His possession, with Christ, but it is so hard to do. When the challenge of personal attack (correction) comes up with me my fear rises up. My old way was to suppress. If someone told me I was wrong, it must be the TRUTH. I searched for my mistake and then even created a scenario that matched my critics description. I am wrong. The very small part of me that thought there are two sides to every confrontation was pushed aside and I accepted blame and began looked for my opportunity for restitution. How could I:


restore, put back, reinstate, replace, reseat, rehabilitate, reestablish, reestate, reinstall,

reconstruct, rebuild, reorganize, reconstitute; reconvert; renew, renovate; regenerate; rejuvenate.

redeem, reclaim, recover, retrieve; rescue...

There must be a way I could:

redress, recure; cure, heal, remedy, medicate; break out of; bring round, resuscitate, revive,

reanimate, revivify, recall to life, reinvigorate, refresh, make whole; recoup,

make good, make all square; rectify; put right, put to rights, set right, set to rights, set straight,

set up, correct; put in order, refit, recruit, reinforce, repair, retouch, revamp, patch,

stop the gap, bind up wounds.

My desperate attempt to make it right...was wrong. Only Jesus love can fill in the gap and bind up the wounds in peace.

So I sit back and reevaluate my reaction. BOUNDARIES I NEED BOUNDARIES.

So if someone tells me I am wrong, I look for both sides. Hear the other person, see where my fault is. My thoughts held captive, I am held captive in loving arms of Christ as He allows me to see my fault, my old way. He holds me tightly as I experience the pain of this old way being uprooted from my spirit.

defensiveness, anger, rejection, guilt, shame, abandonment

His gentle embrace encompasses me and I trust, but there is nothing gentle about it. I am afraid, breathing through the fear, getting back to trust, getting back to courage. I am in agreement. I want this thing out. RELEASE. In the name of Christ it is removed.

Stepping Out of Fear

Last night the women of Celebration church BROUGHT it. God is so amazing how he shows up. I have AGAIN been bogged down in fear. Frozen in mire, unable to step out of my situation and let Jesus step in. FEAR of the things I do not have control of...marriage, finances, children. Prisicilla's words Sunday morning lifted me up. God has gone before and set the velocity of my life. Life is coming my way and I am afraid, relationships, mistakes, illness, being alone, I am treading water and so tired, but the truth is God is not going to give me more than I can handle. I know the truth an it has and will continue to set me free.  I am filled with the spirit, the very authority that Jesus has handed me through the Holy Spirit, but I am too weary, too weary to command the enemy to back off. What is wrong with me...this does not feel like me. Sunday morning the LOVER of my soul wooed me with words of truth/encouragement. Listening to Priscilla's annointed message...are you the one in...

New Leaf

Been going through so much since my last post. Why is it you see where you are supposed to go but it is so hard to get there. The obstacles have been very heavy. Laying them down daily, but as I to surrender the deep wounds in my heart it just does not stop. I am in agreement. Take these things Lord but as they begin to surface it is very very hard, a festering mess of healing. This is what healing looks like. Well my usual response is, no way. I thought I wanted to go there but maybe next week. Very similar to other good things I want to do for myself. I want to let go of caffine, sugar and alcohol for 30 days but as soon as I get started the fear of letting go of the crutch sinks in. How will I get by without my daily cup of joe or that glass of wine in the evening and the countless moments I have with sugar and salt during the day. So today I surrender all of that and pray that you cleanse me Lord and I am ready for anything.
