Not long ago I was invited to give a speech at a neighbor church (not my home church) I was just honored that they would ask me. I went and gave the speech and I thought i did ok even though I was so nervous. Mom asked to read it so I gave her a copy and all she said was You made a mistake about the day that you were healed. I was stunned that she would not say something positive.
This hurts and I have allowed it to continue to hurt me. I scream silent wordless screams that go nowhere but right back into my heart . Why am I surprised? She has never said one positive thing to me, never let me know she was proud of me, never did anything but hit me and tell me I am stupid and ugly.
Wed. night I stood up and said that I would have victory over the things that come against me. I said God would give me victory. I trust Him He is my Heavenly Father, and He hears me when I pray and when I weep.
I know there are a lot of negative things in my life, and I can not change any of it. But I can be thankful for what I have today
1. I am a child of God
2. My husband that supports me
3. two children that bring me joy
4. 3 grandchildren that bring me smiles
5. many people in the church that love me
6. With hilp from God I am overcoming the emotional trauma of when I was robbed.
7. Chad wants to teach me word point
8. I am losing weight (thank you Lord for answering my prayers.)
9. Dh has a steady job (thank you Lord)
10. The Lord is going to help me get a job (praise God)
and the sun is shining and
the Son is shining
I went for a nice walk today and then dh came home and he wanted to go for a walk and I went with him, so I am so thankful for my health to get out and walk like that.
I am thankful for being able to breathe deeply, the Lord healed me of a breathing problem and now I have no problem and I thenk God for His healing touch in my life and body and spirit, and in my husbands life. God is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Hi, Joy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by my blog... I am pleased you have recognised the positive things in your life..This list you made is just great..you could feel the son and the son shining, on you..felt his healing touch upon you within you, just wonderful...
I am praying for your weight loss, it is hard work.But be positive about it.I have lost almost 20kilos, not all through hard work, most with illness and in a short time but I am determined to keep it off to keep my illness at bay..I thank God for helping me through this; without his love and healing I think I would be feeling quite down and negative..
Love and prayers Carol
Just thought I should check up on you again! I'm glad to hear that even amongst your struggles and trauma, you're still recognizing God's work in your life. Sometimes it's so easy to forget all we have and all the good things that have happened and ARE happening when we're down.
ReplyDeleteStill praying for you,
