LOSS. A four letter word that had me paralyzed for years because of deep rooted insecurity and I didn’t even know it. I had been focusing on the wound of the circumstance of not being in my children’s life on the day to day for years instead of keeping my eyes centered on CHRIST. It wasn’t enough to believe HIM, but believe in HIM, LIVING out the day to day that HE has a plan.
As I look back, I am completely overwhelmed by God. That was eight years ago. I had to stop running from the pain and start asking some question to the God of my heart. It was time to trust God and surrender it all. Ever been there?
It was time to stop proving who I wasn’t and rest in knowing who I was. A child of God. As I began to embrace the loss with my Heavenly Father, I focused on HIS solid truths. Promises like, “And we know that in all things God works, for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”~Romans 8:28. This verse encouraged me and helped me to press in and press on during very difficult days knowing that I have been called and God has a perfect plan.
The bottom line is GOD is the author and perfecter of our faith. Somedays I feel like I am on a taffy pull being stretched to my limits, but I know that GOD is writing my story. It’s not over. Yes, I have learned that BIG GIRLS DO CRY…Cry out to GOD and HE wins every single time when we CRY out to HIM!!!!!
