Diagnosis attained…

Good morning, I hope you are interested in “the rest of the story”, as Paul Harvey would say. I would never want to leave you stuck where I was. My whole purpose of these blogs is to confirm God’s faithfulness to bring us out of those dark places. By the way, did you notice the light behind the medical technician in yesterday’s blog? The Lord brings these issues from the dark to the light. As my poem  Dark to Light says in my first book, Inspire Me. In this same book, my poem says …The Answer Is Coming pg. #37.

 So, let’s pick back up where we left off.

Through my attempt to reason something unreasonable, I could see that I was not wanting to be noticed physically. Of course, the enemy wants us to stay confused. He is always hissing in our heads. Spewing his venom that slowly devours us from within. You know, that gnawing within.  Where those dark places take us.

Bump in the road…

So, I then moved on to battle with the enemy. It’s his fault that I am in this gloomy state of mind! Not to mention the weather has truly been miserable day after day, week after week. Ugg! After all, it is January in NW Arkansas. But we walk not by sight, circumstances, or feelings. Hmm…

At this point, you might be thinking, “This woman just doesn’t get it!” It’s called transformation for a reason. Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. NKJV.

As we read about the Israelites, many of us believe we would never respond to the Lord the way they did. When in actuality we as Christians do the same thing. In some cases even worse! It’s sad to say we Americans are a good example of this. I thank my Lord for walking with us, just as He did with the Israelites. We should know that the Lord is the very essence of Love. 1 Corinthians Chapter 3 is considered the Love chapter. It tells of the character of God. Also, we might need to take a look at Casting Stones pgs. 149-150 in my new book Blue Skies, Butterflies & Battlegrounds.

With that said, trust me when I tell you I brought this before the Lord each morning and I did sit quietly to listen. His mercies are new every morning: Great is thy faithfulness, Lamentations 3:23 NKJV.

Through His mercies, coupled with my seeking and listening, I received my diagnosis. I was able to move forward by recognizing the feeling of being unappreciated was the issue. If the enemy can keep me confused and living by emotions, he can then keep me stuck and defeated. Praise God for clearing up the confusion to get me unstuck and on to victory! Lamentations 3:22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, Because his compassions fail not.NKJV.

So, with my issue diagnosed, the Lord led me straight to His answers in His Word! There’s the answer! In His Word.

Will you take a look at His answers with me? If so, be sure to watch for my next blog coming soon! And your comments, through comments or email on my connect page, are welcome as we walk this out together.

Thank you so much for joining me.
