Sometimes in life our struggles are of our own making or not.  I am thankful and grateful for the grace that God is showing me in the midst of this struggle.  I have a choice to not let this struggle define me or defeat me.  I have learned that like Rome, struggle wasn't born in a day, and my win won't come like that either.  Goodness and pain do not come or go away as quickly as we'd like.  I can't click my heels like Dorothy.  I'd like those ruby slippers though.
I do not give as the world gives.  I have to believe that Lord!

Control-  the greatest illusion to man ever known.  The more I want control, the less I have.  I realize that.  It doesn't stop me from wanting it though.

Ephesians 5:1

This topic has been swirling in my mind since Sunday.  Our pastor preached on the Beatitudes.   Blessed are the pure in heart...and Blessed are the peacemakers.  He was explaining how the pure in heart follow the letter of the law to a T.  They are perfectionists.  Let just say when the truth hurts, I squirm, but I didn't deny the truth.  He said perfectionists are usually miserable, and toughest on themselves.  This hit home for me in so many ways.  I am a perfectionist, and am my own worst critic.  The good news is that we have seen perfection in Jesus Christ.  What a great joy to know that God through his Son Jesus has welcomed the pure in heart and peacemakers and calls them blessed.
I am blessed!  Love to all!
God Bless,
R

God Bless,
R

Feels crisp and cool today in my neck of the woods.  Trying to be still.  Trying to get my heart and head to be on the same page.  If everything happens for a reason, I have to trust that God is knowing what He's doing!
The concept of faith as small as a mustard seed is difficult even in this moment when I wonder if my faith is nonexistent.
My prayer is that I can muster the faith to trump the fear, the doubt.
God, let me, let go!
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference!
The Serenity Prayer
