listening

this morning i made my coffee,
sat down on the couch
and started reading through the psalms.
i was thinking grieving about some relationship issues...
feeling frustration, sadness,
and a
realization
that i give up my power
in those relationships. 
i was pouring my heart out to god and he gently whispered: 
*
 figure out what you want...
and learn how to ask for it.
wow.
 it was like a light bulb went on.
an "ah-hah" moment.
this scripture came to mind,
which i've read.
and know.
and forget about.

for god did not give us a spirit of timidity,
but a spirit of power,
of love,
and of self-discipline...
2 timothy 1:7
*
suddenly, it was like all the emotional toxins flowed out of me
and i was filled with power.
god's power
and my power.
to be me
and to ask for what i need.
feeling such freedom right now...
to god be the glory...

enjoy your weekend!!

tie it on your heart strings

because sometimes...
we just need
a little reminder.
