HE is the only one I want to listen to. HIS voice is the only one I want to hear. Sometimes I struggle with all these voices and thoughts that go through my head and I remind myself WHO I belong to. I remind myself WHO my FATHER is. I remind myself I am not those things that go through my head. I remind myself that I am the child of the Most High King! Admittedly, that can be hard sometimes because I am human. I take a deep breath, and remind myself, I belong to Jesus. I started counseling again yesterday. My counselor/therapist is not a Christian. However, she knows that I am. I made that clear and known to her the first time we met. We do video call appointments. I’ve had some fears as I am going to attempt to extend the restraining order and all the emotion and fears that goes behind it. I GREATLY dislike going to court. She walked through it with me as I’m going to fill out paperwork sometime today. Filling out paperwork for court is a HUGE trigger for me.  I realized as we were talking if I done it once before, I can do it again. I even let her know my life verse. Philippians 4:13.. “ I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength”.

Have a great weekend everyone ❤️❤️
MERCY – thank you for your comment yesterday. It helped me understand about wealth!
When God says to “listen” to Christ in this verse He’s not just saying to comprehend what Jesus’ is saying but to follow or do what Christ is saying. Matthew West has a song titled, “Do Something” and the Chorus goes like this —
“f not us, then who
If not me and you
Right now, it’s time for us to do something, yeah
If not now, then when
Will we see an end
To all this pain
Oh, it’s not enough to do nothing
It’s time for us to do something”
The song talk about how we need to “step up to the plate” and “take action” for God and Christ.
Be blessed and “do something” for Christ today sisters.
It’s hard to listen to anyone, much less God, when I’m running in the hamster wheel of frantic activity. Why does so much seem to be so urgent? Isn’t that just a trick of the devil to keep me from communing with my Lord, from hearing His still small voice? Ahhh how gracious of God to give me the Sabbath command, a day to rest in His presence. Grace Day reminds me to slow down today so I’m able to be fully present in worship tomorrow.
Amen
Speak Lord Jesus so that I may do as You will today.
