Some of the setbacks in my life really got on my nerves.
Friends are supposed to keep the confidential stuff… um… confidential. RIGHT? But betrayal stopped me from sharing my struggles. And I started feeling like I didn’t have anyone I could TRUST.
My ex-husband spending all of our money on drugs, left me BROKE. Bankruptcy messed with my credit and my ability to provide for my son.
Foreclosure kept me from buying a home. And an inevitable divorce after abuse made my heart HARD and guarded.
As time went by, even when all those things weren’t top-of-mind, they still kept me—at least subconsciously— from moving FORWARD.
It was like one of those dreams where you’re being chased but can only run in slow motion… like you’re STUCK in quicksand and your legs are wet spaghetti!
Ugh, it was so exhaaaaaaauuuuusting!!!
I guess I’m not painting a very strong picture of myself.
But I am giving you a well-hidden and unbelievably accurate depiction of me in MY strength.
I’m not where I am in life because I’m stronger than you, or because I’ve got my act together.
I’m where I am today because I found a source of STRENGTH that I didn’t possess.
On our own, we’re all we have. But there’s access to SO much MORE! When you give God your weakness, He can give you a stamina, strength and a second chance that makes no sense to the natural mind.
The top becomes the bottom. The back becomes the front, And, this setback can set you up for an awesome COMEBACK!
God is not just a higher power, He’s much more than that. He has LOVE that never fails, a strength that never disappoints, and a POWER that never dims.
He gives assurance that your past does not equal your future… that your past is a place of remembrance, NOT residency.
Assurance that no matter what comes your way, God has ALREADY made a way!

Isn’t that how it always is? We think our past is WAY worse that everyone else’s… but that’s just a LIE the enemy tells us!
