Do You Fit In?


You know, I have lived so much of my life saying things like..."I just don't fit in”, or I just don’t fit in well with groups."  I'm realizing these words put me right where the enemy wanted me ... separated, quiet, not participating.  

But I'm reading in 2 Corinthians 3:6 that He says something very different about me.  It says He has qualified me.  The KJV version says He has made me able.  The AMPC says He has made me to be fit, worthy, and sufficient.  Do you hear that??  Man, I hope those words are speaking to you like they speak to me!!

The mirror of His word is changing me, changing what I see, who I am, increasing my confidence in His promises.  This verse says His spirit gives me LIFE!  May the whispers of His life-giving Word be louder in my ear than the lies.  

Oh friend, I hope you hear this.  If you feel like you don't fit in, that's a LIE!!  You absolutely do "fit"....right into His good plan.  Check the mirror of God's Word and let it change how you see yourself.  He has qualified you - called you able, fit, worthy, and sufficient.  BELIEVE THAT!!

    I have spent my entire life, feeling like I don’t fit in to anything. Never feeling like enough! This is an inspiration.

Myrtle Beach

We just spent the last several days in Myrtle Beach.  The weather and the views were perfect!! And, of course, we ate well.  If you happen to visit: I think we would all recommend the Flying Fish. The food was SO good, and we may have eaten there twice to try a couple of other menu items 😉. The Grouper and the Seafood Linguini were our favorite Entrees. The Seafood Nachos were a big hit as well. The hubby loved the oysters, but I can't make myself try them😁.  We also tried the Chesapeake House, and it was good as well. The hush puppies and cinnamon rolls served before the meal were yummy!  Lulu’s had a super cute atmosphere. I wouldn’t say it was my favorite, though still good.  Barefoot Landing at Myrtle was a really beautiful place to eat and shop. Flying Fish and Lulu’s were both located there, and the baby had her first carousel ride there. This was such a good time of rest, relaxation, and laughter. At the last minute, one of our daughters and 18-month-...

Feelings

How are you feeling this morning, in this season of change? I don't know about you, but I sat down this morning thinking about how I feel  - a little tired, the weather is changing, getting darker earlier, less sunshine, affecting my motivation. Feelings of anxiousness and overwhelm seem to pop up this time of year for me (if I let them). But... You know I like to start my day by spending some time with Jesus and journaling, so I sat down to do just that. I opened my journal and the first thing I saw is something I wrote just 3 days ago !!  "I want my light to shine brighter than my feelings." How ironic, right?! This made me smile 😊😊 because that's exactly what I want! I don't want my feelings to dictate my days!! I want to dictate my feelings! HOW? Not by acknowledging all these feelings, but by acknowledging the word of God (which is truth), by renewing my mind, by reminding myself that... Philemon 1:6 says my faith becomes effectual (fruitful, potent) by ac...

God is a Good God

 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalm 34:8) Good morning, friends! I had something on my mind and wanted to share it with you. One of our granddaughters recently got hurt, and it hurt my heart so deeply for her. Since that day, I have wanted nothing more than to see her, hold her, be close to her, tell her how much her Mimi loves her. I didn’t cause her to get hurt. It was an accident and accidents happen. But, man, I just wanted to fix it, to lay my hands on her, pray for her. I know that her resilience and quick healing is because of the good God we serve.   We spent the afternoon with her on Sunday and after we left, I was thinking about her and God spoke something to my heart. He told me that He feels exactly the same way when I hurt. He isn’t the cause of my pain, sickness, etc. But when I do hurt, He wants nothing more than to comfort me, be close to me, hold me. He wants me to trust Him. Oh man, what a good good God I ...
