I wrote a post a few days ago which I didn't post. It was just to revealing, layed my heart bare for the world to see. And it was just too much of my heart.
But since I wrote it the LORD has really answered so much of it. And I'm trying to put it into practice. It requires me renewing my mind.
I can share this - you know when things weigh you down and you can't get them out of your head? Well, that's me. I'm a problem solver so when something bugs me, I can't just put it aside.
So in writing about it, the LORD of course has shown me yet again that I don't have to let my mind rule my spirit or my emotions. The world does not have to be perfect for me to enjoy it still.
In fact I can be dealing with huge issues and still manage to enjoy my every day life. This image of my son and my man popped into my head when the LORD was counselling me over this. I wish I had taken a photo! It took place the day before when we all spent the morning together.
They were sitting on a bench on a main shopping road, so there was a lot of hustling and bustling around them, and they were happily sharing lebanese bread together watching the world go by...just hanging out together waiting for me and riley to return.
It was such a great image. I stood there watching them for a bit. It was such a lovely morning together with lots of 1sts. We started off with great coffee in a new coffee shop. Found this deli with yummy salads and great bread which we had never noticed before! Plus a wonderful french style homeware store. It was like we had never walked along that road before. Yet we've been their so many times!
So this all happened the day before the battle with my mind! Praise the LORD for he never leaves me nor forsakes me. That he is ever present in my life and patiently teaches me. Reminds me how blessed I am to have the family I do have. And most importantly to cast my cares on to him! He reminds me that I don't have to deal with the big stuff on my own. And that there are much better things to dwell on which may seem small to others but are just as powerful to me.
