My famous words have been “I just need to get through this quick… I don’t have time to feel this way”
I have to stop saying this and just know that there is a HOPE and His name is Jesus:)
One of my favorite posts that I read from someone’s blog was about dealing with the all the layers in our life. I asked him this question: “ How do you not get stuck in a layer… or how do you stay on the last one”? Is it ok to forget one exists?
His response was this: “I think the key is accepting that they are all there – understanding that life is designed to be that way. Remembering that God is present in every layer and knows about each one.”
How true that is! God sees us through all the layers of our lives, why do we put masks on cretin layers. We tend to try going through the motions as quickly as possible. “ Well, that is what I have been doing for a while now. First I tend to hide them…. even from God. And second if I do accept a layer that is hard to deal with, I want to quickly go past it… that is not how it works…. Slowing down and doing it right this time is going to be important for me to grasp….
I try and escape to a place of comfort and hope… as QUICKLY as possible! And a lot of times that is not running to God for hope and comfort… so all those temporary fixes…. yah… not going to do the trick… they are only going to last so long till the next “worldly” thing that makes it feel better…. We all have them… the things that makes the hurt go away for awhile… our yummy chocolate, TV, food, alcohol… whatever it may be, we all have our own addictions. I want to be addicted to TRUTH… HIS Truth… HIS Love, HIS HOPE! This world does not hold the hope I need. It is in Him that the world needs to seek their HOPE.

** please take the time to listen to the song I attached, it is so worth the 4 minuets!
I need you Jesus! Come to my rescue!
your post is very touching especially the last part when you mentioned how we tend to go for temporary fixes to let the hurt go away. i do believe in Him. and most of the times when i really can’t let the hurt go, i call on Him and sincerely pray. and it does all the healing not even the yummiest chocolate can give :) my favorite Bible line is “all these shall pass”.
have a great day.
I just ate a whole can of peaches :) I felt better as I ate them…. didn’t last long:) I wonder how long it will take me to know that temporary fixes aren’t going to do the trick… :)
haha.. same as drinking softdrinks. they taste great for a while especially after eating spicy foods. but after some time, you feel bloated and uneasy (well, that’s how it goes for me) and you regret taking as much “gas” drink as you wanted. anyway, life is short. just enjoy the temporary fix first and do the permanent ones later on :)
have a great day ahead.
I thought about you today:) I don’t know why… but I did… so I thought maybe God put you on my heart… so I said a prayer for you:)

Thanks, L. God must be listening.
I was crying when I wrote my last post in my blog (sorry, it’s in my native language). It was all about letting go of some pain. God might have wanted to comfort me through your prayer.
Thank you very much.
I feel much better now. :)
Thinking about you today and praying as well:)
What is your native language:) It is amazing how God puts people on our mind at the right time…. I hope you felt his touch today:)
