Because I share my realness with you…
10 things about me:
1. I once was in an abusive marriage…mentally, emotionally and sexually.
2. I once weighed 100 pounds more than I do now.
3. I once wanted to die, I wanted my life to end..but I was not suicidal I just wanted the pain to stop.
4. I did not come from a Christian background, but God made a way for me.
5. I once was extremely shy and still have to pull myself out of that mindset.
6. I was told that I would never be anything without “him”.
7. As a child I was in an abusive home and carried my anger for a long time, letting go of my past blesses my child today and in the future.
8. I was told by a doctor that I would never have kids.
9. I have forgiven all those who have hurt me, even those who have hurt me the most.
10. Even though I have been through all these things, you would never know it because I have faith, hope and an abundance of love…
10 Things about God-through his word (see how they relate):
1. The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all. Psalm 34:17-19
2. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?/But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:25 and Matthew 6:33
3. he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff,
they comfort me. Psalm 23:3-4
4. Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; Jeremiah 1:5
5. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16
6. I can do everything through him (the Lord) who gives me strength. Phillipians 4:13
7. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil./If the LORD delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumbles, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed. Turn from evil and do good;
then you will dwell in the land forever. Psalm 37:8 and 37:23-27
8. Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span. Exodus 23:25-26
9. For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:14-15
10. With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26
FOR YOU: whatever your struggle is or has been, know that God wants a relationship with you, you are his creation!
To: You! with love...
