Just Some Things I've Been Holding In

All of the psychological story analogies have never done anything for me. It's like trying to find a story to suit the circumstance for my own benefit. It's just not enough. Never has been, never will be.

I want to know what the scriptures are telling me. I want to weigh my thoughts, my actions and my decisions by his Word. I've been through enough to know that He's going to take care of me.

"No weapon formed against me shall prosper." My view of that scripture is that I won't be destroyed. I have been in the place where I wanted people to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the dishonesty of the people who hurt me, but I didn't get it. What happened is that God took care of me and my family. That was the weapon that couldn't prosper against me.

I have some painful stories, but God has been too good to me to dwell there.

Good post!
