When I lift my eyes off of the hurt and focus on God. my whole perspective changes. And isn’t community such a blessing. Articulating our faith or our dilemma to another trusted friend so often gives light to our next step.

Thanks for praying with me , Colleen

I had a conversation with a dear friend this weekend that helped me refocus on priorities.Having had the wind knocked out of me by a situation I didn’t foresee, I was totally focused on a wound and not where my attention needed to be. I rehearsed the whole scene of my pain, and then at the end added.. oh yeah and I’ve got this other thing .. yes its exciting.. yeah that too is going on.
Once it was spoken, I was almost laughing at myself. Her excitement for me was such a blessing. We both came to the realization about the same time. Why are you worried about the stuff that is dragging you down when clearly, God has good stuff for you to work on.
Eyes forward…
— You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23:5-6–
I’m not sure why I’m still so easily injured and pull back in… a bit hermit crabish, I think hehe. But with the encouragement of beautiful friendships, and comforting words, we all move forward together. Great Blog, Jean 🙂
