feelings

Have you ever felt sorry for yourself? Have you ever been hurt by a loved one? I'm sure each of you can answer yes to those questions. How did you react? Well, I can honestly say for myself. Not the way God would have wanted. No details.....just a little word of encouragement. Tonight I was feeling both of those feelings. I reacted and acted out. Then, realizing my error I asked God to help me sort through my feelings.

I opened my mail to find an amazing message from a lady from my church. She posted some adorable pictures on her facebook account. Tradgicly she lost her 4 year son in 2000. I knew that, but didn't know the details. She posted a pic. of him hours before he died. I wrote her a message letting her know what a beautiful boy he was. His name was Nicholas. She wrote me back explaining why she is so attached to my Nicolas.

Oh my did the tears flow and through that, God showed me what is important. My eyes are opened and I feel renewed! Let the little things go and focus on what's truly important!

Psalms 20:1

May the Lord answer you in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

Psalms 20:4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
