For some reason for the last few days I have been fighting a battle in my mind. I have this fear that people don't like me or aren't pleased with me. Its not how I usually feel but the last few months I feel like I keep coming back to this place. The fear of man is sin and I KNOW that I need to get it under control. So I woke up this morning and thought about Philippians 4:8-9
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
I repeat this verse a lot when I am feeling overwhelmed or when I want to buy into Satan's lies. But for some reason I never noticed or just never put much thought into the last part of verse 9 "And the God of peace will be with you."
He promises to bring peace..... wow I really needed to hear Him say that.
Quick update on the Adoption Stuff... We have a social worker and set up our first meeting. We will have one more meeting after that and then our home study. Now it is mostly about gathering the funds. BUT I am not going to buy into the lie that "we can't do this". God has brought us here and He isn't gonna leave us now.
This might not be your style of music but this is my "fire me up" song!! "I'm callin on my savior to be all that I need Please forgive me my behavior had me lost at light speed"
