Everyday I am deepening an imtimate spiritual bond with my source a step at a time. It is through the most difficult stages of my life that led me down the path spiritually. I am no guru or perfect angel but I've learned that he will love and forgive the most broken parts of yourself. Learning to let go that's when you know you're giving him what you can't control and learning to trust him through the process.

Yes He does forgive us each and every time. None of us will ever have it perfect and that's okay. He uses our broken pieces and molds them together for an even greater purpose in service to Him and more importantly to others. Thank you for sharing and God bless you.

Thank you as this is what I needed to hear and think about from this perfect point of view/truth.

So elegantly stated.

Thank you Bill and for sharing. It was a little hard to write, but something I definitely felt the call to do.

What a beautifully honest poem and writing. Thank you for sharing this with a vulnerable and relatable spirit. I see and hear and relate to it. Thank you, dear Anne.

Thank you Tricia. I can honestly say it was sort of hard to write, but as I read this scripture earlier this morning in one of my devotions, two words, "new heart" just stood out. And from this wrestle came this blog post. It's okay to feel the feelings, but more importantly to let God heal the pain. If anything I've learned from this wrestle is that I do believe what I feel God has called me to do in this chapter of my life is raw and real. Walking with Jesus on a daily basis is the hardest thing to do in my life, but it's also the best and most rewarding. Jesus didn't have it easy, but He gave it all on the cross to set us all free once and for all. Thank you for sharing and God bless you!

I love this reply! No it’s not easy and YES it is hard AND He does not let us go! 🙌

Anne you it every point on how I’ve felt for the last month or so. I’m putting all my trust in him even when it’s the hardest to do. I know that he’s working on me even when I’m not hearing or feeling him. I’m still trying to figure out why I’m felling the way I am. But just like you I know he’s wanting me to surrender and put everything at the foot of the cross. The lies you mind and heart tell you are hard to resist. I pray every day that he helps me through this process.

Thank you for sharing Shari. This one was a little hard for me to write today, but I knew the minute I read this verse in my devotion this morning and read the words "new heart" I knew God was wanting me to do something with it. Sometimes in the times I wrestle with Him, He speaks loudly pushing me to do something I don't. All I know is replace those lies with the truth of His Word each time. As I wrestled with myself and God, out came even more confirmation for me anyway of what He's called me to do and why I recently wrote the 3-session mini bootcamp in which I'm grateful for you to be a part of. I'm praying for you my friend as my coach reminded me today on a webinar of, the hardest journey you will ever walk is one of walking with Jesus Christ. Jesus didn't have it easy at all, but He died to save us all and set us free. Remember that, our struggles will make us stronger not because of us but only because of Him working through our weakness. Feel the feelings and let God heal the pain. There's a new quote I guess. Take care my friend. God bless you.
