The Words I Would Say

I'm listening to my Contemporary Christian music channel...and this song is on right now. Its talking about writing a letter to someone who isn't near...but it also reminds me of a country song where the author wants to write a letter to a younger version of them self...well, right now, I wanna write a letter to me. I'm going through some things right now that has left me so confused and broken that maybe this is a way I can talk some sense in myself.

"Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,
These are the words I would say," --The Words I Would Say by: Sidewalk Prophets

My Sweetheart,

I know your confused, broken, unsure of everything life has placed in front of you, don't doubt any longer. Stop letting your fears and your insecurities lead you. You're strong, but you're AMAZING when you're standing on the promises of Jesus Christ your rock...keep moving forward Em.

You Are Loved.

"When will I stop stumbling and falling???"

That's what I asked the Lord a few nights ago, as I pondered my most recent fall. I asked Him when it will be that I'll go from stumbling and tripping as a toddler to walking normal as an adult. I could almost hear the laughter. And then I got my answer...I call myself a klutz because even in my full grown "adultness", I still trip and stumble over all sorts of things. How true is that of our walk with Jesus? No matter how long we walk, how much we grow, there will always be something that will cause us to stumble...we are human, we are sinners, and because of that...we will stumble. But God is merciful, HE loves us so much...so much that even as a full grown christian, when we fall, he picks us back up and waits for us to take the first step once again. God is moving big time in my life right now, He's got some things that are coming that I feel so inadequate for. But with Christ...all things are possible. He is my source of strength, HE IS MY HOPE. No matter what may come, cancer, infertility, weight loss, debt, hunger, no matter what I'm facing now, or what I may face in the future...JESUS CHRIST IS MY ROCK, of what or whom shall I fear? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...thats what.
