Rescued

Elaina has been doing so well these past few days. 10 months of chemo down and about 8 more months to go. It still sounds so long and sometimes I feel like I've been here forever, but I do sense the end of this battle is coming to an end.

 

 

Elaina has passes on the crown of promise to another bringer of light!  Every Time She would set her crown down this one would pick it up . . .

 

place it proudly on his head. . . 

reminding us to never put down and forget the promises of God. 

Sometimes I can still catch myself in a state of shock. . .

 

Is this really my life?!

Not always in a negative way. . . actually more so in a positive shock. . .

Feeling blessed beyond measure.

witnessing love poured out like never before. . .

faith building stronger and stronger. . .

feeling peace that I'll never be able to understand or explain.

 

Never did I have to beg for the love. . . peace. . . grace. . . strength

He knocked on my heart's door a long time ago. . .

It scared me a little at first.

My head screaming who are you and what do you want with ME!?

 

Oh how glad I am that I answered that knock!!

 

My heart SINGS. . .

 

"But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me!"

Psalm 13:5

 

and ALL this time He's been walking with me. . . He's for me

He sees me. . .

ALL this time He's NEVER left.

 

I still need gentle reminders to follow after the teaching one,

but the journey has been such a beautiful one!. . . I will gladly follow after . . .

 

 

My heart still longing to know Him more . . .desiring to be more like the one who loves us so much he gave up everything so we could have everlasting life with no more pain and suffering. . .

NO MORE.

Oh I can't wait to be HOME!

 Has this ever been you?

 

getting caught gazing out, allowing lies to creep in. . . thinking things are so much brighter on the other side?

 

Or. . .

 

wearing the shoes that are too big . . . so badly wanting something you aren't quite ready for?

and then before long. . .

 

 

You find yourself in a STICKY mess!

 

It wasn't that long ago I lived here. . . a place I never want to take up residence again. . . I still find myself visiting every now and then.

So thankful God is faithful. . . He is ALWAYS there.

 

"The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure." 1 Corinthians 10:13

 

 

reminding me that he is a Promise Keeper! Fixing my eyes back on him.

 

"Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." Romans 12:2

"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.”  1 Corinthians 3:19

I feel like a spiritual toddler much of the time. . .

 

being caught in a potentially dangerous situation and having to be redirected.

 

"The LORD directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way?" Proverbs 20:24

 

Thank you God for never giving up. . .

never letting go of your children.
