Fear Is Not The Boss

 
 
 
As a child and even a young adult storms scared me....
It was a eerie type of fear....
A fear that held me captive in my entire being.......
It was the unknown power the storm contained...
The destruction that lived within it's wall of fiery.
I couldn't see past the darkness of the clouds nor could I cling to the  knowledge that the sunshine resided right behind them.
As a child my hiding place from a storm was hiding deep within the covers of my bed.
As a young adult and married, I would bury my face in my husband's back, wrapping my arms around him tightly with eyes closed so hard one would think my eyeballs had vanished.

How many times do we allow the storms in life to consume us?
To paralyze us with fear?
To hold us hostage with in our own minds?
To keep us captive in the confounds of the unknown?
Life storms come in many forms.
From our finances, to mishaps with our children, to relationships destroyed or an illness that robs us of any normalcy in our lives.


The good news is we don't have to live in fear....
We don't have to allow life's storms to consume us...
We can walk through it with the boldness of a lion.

2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind

Regardless of the magnitude of the storm.....
No matter it's intensity in our lives.....
We can rise above them.
We have the power and authority through Christ Jesus to speak to our storms...
To speak life and not death....
To cast out fear and doubt.....
To choose to see the sunshine behind the clouds.

Our daddy God will and does provide all our needs....
He knows the storms that will hit us and already has our provisions in hand.
It is our trust in him that leads us past the darkness of the clouds and into the rays of sunlight....
His sunlight.

Philippians 4:19
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

I am no longer fearful of storms....
( no longer hidden under the covers)
I look pass the clouds....
Pass the darkness....
( I walk with the boldness of an overcomer)
I see the sunlight......
( I see my daddy God)
 Because fear is not the boss of me.
( Thank you Jaedyn and Charleigh)

There is always sunshine after the rain!!

Let Me See Them Through Your Eyes

  As a parent we always see the best in our children no matter their downfalls, mistakes and failures in life. We see beyond the mess and see the message. We don't stand on the negative but yet cling to the hope of positive in the circumstances they face. I look for the testimony in the midst of the test, the character-building lesson and the growth of maturity in my girls when they have faced trials in their own lives. I look for God and watch His loving hand at work. If I can do that as a parent, why then is it so hard at times for me to see others through the eyes of God? Why is it I have those moments when I forget they too are a child of God and are in need of the same compassion and understanding I give to my girls and others that I love? It is easy to forget when someone hurts us to our core they too are in need of unconditional love. We forget those who are hurting often hurt others. Just as I look at my children with eyes of love in the most trying times, Jesus looks at ea...

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet".........
