"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

EMOTIONALLY BAD DAY

Had a really bad day emotionally.

Have not had one of these so intense. Whew.

Was on the verge of tears most of the day. The pain of the memories which brought shame and guilt turned into grief, sorrow, and sadness as these emotions sat right on the edge of my heart today. Waiting for the opportunity to pounce all at once. Like I could feel them as the tears tried to well up. It took all I had in me just to hold it together today. I am exhausted. Emotionally spent.

I just barely made it home from work tonight and the flood gates just opened.

Needed to at least post about what is going on. I need an avenue to express my hurts besides to God who I wonder at times, if He is even listening.

Forgive me, I am battling back and forth with doubt at the moment.

I even knew something was up in my Spirit this morning when I awoke. I was even contemplating calling in and taking a PTO from work.

This deep cleaning from the Lord is obviously working.

Working too well.

Too painfully well.

  4. Remember to keep moving forward - even when it feels like you might be moving backward. Don't trust that feeling. Trust God.

    Many prayers.

  10. Hoping this helps clear out some of the debris and tomorrow will be the rainbow after the storm. It's normal to mourn the life you didn't get to live because of abuse.

    Press on JBR. You'll still encounter bad days. You're only human so don't be surprised. God gives us strength when we can’t face another day. The Jews were discouraged. They felt like giving up. God will give you strength no matter how dark or bleak the future appears.

  27. I think grieving is a good, healing thing. I just hope you don't get too deep into it that you get too flooded with the feelings. Try to pace yourself and be very kind and comforting for you. I know that feeling of being on the verge of tears all day. I know it is hard. Thinking of you and sending safe, warm, comforting hugs (((((((((JBR))))))))))

    Recovery isn't always a piece of cake. The frosting is always the best part to eat, but then you have the substance that makes the cake. That is what holds it all together. Your substance is being worked on now.

    Hold on to God's truth. I was in the same boat as you are now a few years back so I know the pain your enduring.

    We're much stronger than we think. You will succeed.

    I remember these days. I have not had one in a while (THANK GOD) and I have taken PTO before to try and get my head together. All that I can say is that God is trying to cleanse you of all of the old and sad memories and events that you have gone through and just remember that you are so not alone. I know how it feels to be in doubt and to wonder if God is really listening too. However I want you to know that he is and that in time this walk will get easier and easier to handle. I am telling this to myself as well. Stay up girl. I will keep you in my prayers! xoxo! :o)
