Oh my… yes!!! Pass the Pepto and some tissues – and make mine a mocha. In a big mug, please, because I’m pausing here for a while…
Yep! That’s me….for most of my life….Until finally the last year or so I began….Facing the Giant with a sling and a stone….Right between the eyes…..it still will try to creep back every now and then….but when it does…instead of shrinking back, it makes me mad! I know my Father’s love for me and now I can boldly say, “Get the behind me!”
Great post Shannon!!
This makes me tear up and my heart cry, “YES!”. So much more I want to say, but it’s late here and I need to go sleep. So…thank you, and good night from Australia!
…and slay the beast!
Shannon, so right on! I’m dealing with so many things lately that are distortions from the enemy. I do starve so many of his lies and deflect many an arrow, but the one that has a strangle hold on me, that causes me to stumble so often, is the distorted view of myself- who I am, what I stand for… so often he wants me to believe it’s all bad to the point of convincing me that I do not even know my own heart. Tonight has been quite the battle. I did not do so good this round. Pray that tomorrow I come out fighting.
Maggie…Magster… ;) Friend, I’m praying you right through that threshold. You are not who you were, even if who you were was only two minutes ago. Love you…
