I have been writing blogs for years. It
began in hopes to leave a legacy. Early
in recovery from a relapse with my eating disorder, I had physical symptoms
convincing me that I may not survive another recovery. At this point, both my children were very
young. I wanted to leave inspiration,
guidance and knowledge gained through experience. I wanted them to remember me (because, again,
I thought I had gone too far this time).
As years passed, I continue to write daily;
but, now alive and well, I use writing to navigate through dark thoughts, release
them and hope they lose power in my mind.
I write to reach those hurting and maybe, just maybe, offer encouragement
to make it through the day. I pray my words
reach those feeling alone in life. I
hope to provide a comforting word, Truth to replace the enemy’s lies and love
to the reader.
I am determined to use difficulty in life for
God’s purpose. He plans great things for
each of us and silence allows the enemy to steal the clarity of God’s
plan. Each time I write, the words come
straight from the heart. I write, not
from a perspective of someone who has it all together; but, from someone just
like you who wakes up determined to do the best for 24 hours. To do our best, we must take along our support
system. Through prayer, we invite God to
walk alongside and provide an angel army to guide and support us today.
Each writing I share on social media. I can guarantee with 99.9% that every post
will have at least one ‘like’. My
greatest support, my biggest fan, takes the time to read my blog and give a ‘thumbs
up.’ My mom shows up with every
writing. I picture her reading it on her
couch after a long day of work or bright and early over coffee. Either way, she takes the time to read
my words. Even if she is the only one
that reads that writing, her ‘like’ makes it all worthwhile.
Dear friends, we all have a support system. Each day, thousands of Writings lay available
for us to read. The Words solidify
purpose, set out a plan and encourage us in this broken world. I can guarantee you will love every Truth
provided. Some may change a perspective
on an issue. Others may require changing
the trajectory planned for the day. And
yet some, may solidify a decision.
Regardless, if you show up to read His Writing, you will not regret
it. God’s Truths always lead to peace,
healing, comfort and love. There may be rocky
terrain on the way to such; but, stay strong and focused on the prize.
God provides Truth to assist in disabling the
lies received from our enemy. The enemy
works to redirect, steal our focus and keep us from reading God’s
Writings. God desires to reach the hurting,
offering the exact words of encouragement and guidance to succeed today. Without Him, success cannot be reached. This world wants us to feel successful based
on temporary achievements or increased monetary values; but, this proves the brokenness
of the world. God holds success for you
that lasts. He holds plans for today
that mature. Maturity leads to the prize
of Eternal life with our Creator.
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which
God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
15 All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of
things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make
clear to you. Philippians 3:14-15
God desires relationship with us. If one person comes to believe, even just
one, the sacrifice of His Only Son Jesus He deems worthwhile. He rejoices with each surrender. He delights in having His children come back
to Him and believe His Promises.
Seek out support today from the One Who offers
the greatest support. Seek out your
biggest fan. He has great things to tell
you.
Blessings to you dear friend,
Live life. . .One Day at a
time!
