Do you struggle too?
Have you struggled?
Are you afraid you might be heading towards the direction of this struggle?
You are not alone.

Do You Ever Wonder?
Do you ever wonder why we sin?
Do you ever wonder why one moment we can feel so in tune with God, and then the next we're feeling guilt because of sin?
Do you ever wonder why we don't believe we are forgiven, even though God's word declares that we are?
Do you ever wonder what it's going to be like in Heaven, where there is no pain and sadness?
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to never feel ugly, or unattractive?
Do you ever wonder when the truths you have heard, are going to stick?
Do you ever wonder?
Do you ever have that moment where you are filled with emotions that leave you feeling...just odd?
That's the only word I could use to describe this feeling. It's really just odd. It's not like I'm full of anger, sadness, or even joy at that moment. I'm just...feeling something...
Do you ever have this? Or am I alone?
I know I'm not, or else The Beautiful Truth would not be existing.
Or else there probably wouldn't be as many thin women running on the tredmills for hours upon hours.
Or else there wouldn't be a need for plastic surgery for just the average woman.
Or else we wouldn't have millions of women joining together at conferences like the one I attended this weekend, desiring so deeply to hear TRUTH. To hear TRUTH about our significance, about the fact that God has forgiven us from our past sins. Bible studies such as Believing God and Breaking Free, by Beth Moore, probably wouldn't be so popular if I was the only one feeling this way.
It's so interesting to me knowing that I'm not the only one feeling this way, yet we forget to share these things with others.
I'm not quite sure where I am going with this tonight.
In all reality, I just wanted to share with you ladies, that you are not alone.
How many times have I written about this?
I guess it's just something I am passionate about. But today, I think that's what I'm supposed to write about.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
You are not the only woman that fears the thought of gaining weight.
You are not the only Mom that feels so lonely every single day and wonders if this is ever going to get easier.
You aren't the only wife that struggles to find joy today, or that is confident in who you are.
You aren't the only woman wondering if and when you will be able to lose that last 10-20 pounds. Do you need to? Is that realistic? Are you healthy at the weight you are? Just think about that for a moment...
You aren't the only one struggling with what you are struggling with.
How do I know this?
This past weekend I was at the Living Proof Live conference in Tacoma with Beth Moore. There were 6300 other women there seeking GOD. They were seeking affirmation, peace, forgiveness, motivation, and a whole lot more. I remember at the beginning when the worship team came up and the evening began, the women immediately shouted their praises to God. It didn't take a whole lot to get everyone excited to be there. For they were being reminded that THEY ARE NOT ALONE.
Isn't this beautiful?
Even though you feel so alone, you aren't!
If you are anywhere near Columbia Bible College, COME this Monday night to be reminded that YOU AREN'T ALONE.
If you aren't anywhere near CBC, that's ok! Please email your prayers, concerns, or even questions. It is my hope that you can find some hope, and some reminder that you aren't alone.
As I write this, I hear these lyrics in the background by Tenth Avenue North.
These are what remind me that God is listening...
I know i need you
I need to love you
I love to see you, but its been so long
i long to feel you
i feel this need for you'
and i need to hear you
is that so wrong?
now you pulled me near you
when we're close i fear you
still im afraid to tell you
all that i've done
are you done forgiving?
or can you look pass my pretending?
Lord i'm so tired of defending
what i've become
what have i become?
i hear you say "my love is over,
its underneath, its inside, its in between
the times you doubt me, when you can't feel
the times that you've questioned 'is this for real?'
the times you've broken, the times that you mend
the times you hate me and the times that you bend
well my love is over, its underneath
its inside, its in between,

these times you're healing
and when your heart breaks
the times that you feel like you've fallen from grace
the times you're hurting
the times that you heal
the times you go hungry and *are tempted* to steal
in times of confusion and chaos and pain
im there in your sorrow under the weight of your shame
im there through your heartache
im there in the storm
my love i will keep you by my power alone
i dont care where you've fallen, where you have been
i'll never forsake you
my love never ends, it never ends
