life hasn't been peachy for me lately...or lets just say life around me has been great, just the feelings inside of me haven't. ugh! that's the stinky part...how do i change my feelings? or not believe them more than the Truth? so hard! so i've just had to remind myself, almost minutely, that the joy of the Lord is my strength! i could use some encouragement and reminders of the Lord's perspective in times like these...where feelings feel more like the truth...but they are not! ah!~!

1. the JOY of the Lord is my strength!- nehemiah 8:10

2. He delights in me!--2 samuel 22:20

3. His strength is made perfect in my weakness.-- 2 Cor. 12:9

  1. it is hard..we all stuggle with it to. Sometime its hard just to accept ourselves where we are at. Let yourself feel things..feelings aren't bad...you are ok and will be ok :)

  3. psalm 18:1-4
    I love you, O LORD, my strength.
    the LORD is my rock, my fjortress, and my deliverer;
    my God is my rock in whom I take refuge; He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the LORD who is worthy of praise and I am saved from my enemies.
