Life is hard!!!!! That’s what my parents would say when I was a teenager wining about my little problems. Never in a million years did I expect that as a parent life was truly that hard. However, I truly do understand them wise words today.
The last few years for my husband and I life has knocked the breathe out of us. Finances, family, friends, work, and just facing everyday issues. Can anyone relate? I am not going to cushion it there has been time that we have just thought about throwing in the towel. we have thought to ourselves….”walking the narrow road God has called us to walk should not be this hard.”
The last month or so I have been completely exhausted, no energy at all. I have slipped numerous times, and have fallen face first in this world. Ashamed I am. I have felt completely broken, shattered inside. You know the feeling of barley hanging on??? I have literally fell to my knees completely out of breath…..crying asking God is there any relief in sight. I have been pushed to the breaking point by people I love with my whole heart. Trying so hard to not let the things they say or do effect to the point of walking away from them.
The today as I was driving to get paychecks I hard a song that ministered to me….part of the song that stuck with was “I am not going anyway….This is far from over……devil you haven’t seen the last of me.” I just started proclaiming regardless of what my husband and I have went through the last couple of years God has kept us and will continue to do so. Proclaiming to the enemy that we are not going anywhere……. God has equipped us with forgiveness, grace, long-suffering, joy, and His Holy Word!!!
Philippians:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
So enemy get use to it….wear yourself out…. however it wont stop us because we are on a road traveling home and there is nothing…..absolutely nothing that you can do to stop us from reaching that destination!!!!!! Suck it up it is far from over!!!!!!
Heavenly Father I want to come to you today just simply to say Thank You, thank you for keeping me, thank you for holding on to me when I thought I just couldn’t go any further. Thank you for wrapping your arms around my husband and I and strengthening us at our very weakest moments. Thank you Lord for not giving up on us. Thank you for strength to take another step even when we couldn’t see the reason to go on. Thank you for your forgiveness, your love, your mercy, your grace. I love you Jesus…….
