If right now you think you shouldn’t 

then that probably means you should. 


If hiding is going to hurt you, 

know that Satan thinks it’s good. 


He encourages your confusion 

and he hopes you’ll hide your pain. 


If he gets you stuck in your mind

he will drive you quite insane. 


So if you’re feeling shameful 

and you hesitate to share,


The feelings that you have inside 

with others who do care. 


That doesn’t mean that you should 

keep them locked away instead. 


Because Satan wants to keep you 

“safely” locked inside your head. 


So if you think you shouldn’t share 

that probably means you should. 


Trust in God and share your feelings

because He wants for you what’s good.

Fear

 I’m learning that I frequently try to motivate myself with fear. I tell myself that if I don’t lose weight I will never be married and other such things. I know plenty of people who are overweight and married. Why should that make a difference? But I still tell myself this. I try to use fear to motivate myself to change. Spoiler alert: It never works.  Fear doesn’t motivate change. Fear stops it. Faith and hope for a better future are the real motivations. When I focus on the things I am afraid of and try to hide from them I end up blocking growth and change. When I accept that problems happen and face the things I am afraid of, in spite of my fears, I am able to make progress and live a more productive life.  I have spent years of my life running from fear and discomfort and have started only recently to really understand how limiting that view point has been, as well as how damaging. Life is meant to be lived. The world is meant to be explored. I am learning that to ma...

Self Mastery

One of the main things we are here to learn is self mastery.  It is also one of those things that addicts struggle with most.  If we were good at self mastery then we would not be addicts.  I struggle with a few addictions but one in particular was pulling my strings today.  It was also an eye opening experience.  I allowed myself, to not just flirt with the line, but to put my foot over it.  I knew what would happen if I did. I knew the damage that it could do and the confusion that it would cause, but I did it anyway because I wanted just a little bit of the old high.  Having crossed the line, I met someone.  I was debating if I wanted to partake of my addiction.  Once I had crossed the line it looked so much more appealing. The person that I met said that it was okay, that I was a grown woman and that it was my choice to make.  I mentioned how I was an addict and I shouldn't be there. This person told me that it was no big deal and th...

Sleep

 I fluff up my pillow, turn out the light and tuck in my teddy and kiss him good night.  Then laying in bed I stare at the black, hoping for sleep, to develop the knack.  What more can I do to bring about sleep? I’ve counted and recounted each tap dancing sheep. My mind won’t stop racing, my thoughts are a mess and sleep’s as elusive as a cow in a dress.  The world’s topsy-turvy like blind honey bees and that’s half the reason for anxieties.  Perhaps it’s the cows, the sheep and the bees that keep me from achieving my long hoped for z’s.  I then remember the thing I’ve forgot, to thank God for blessings received, such a lot.  So I kneel down by the side of my bed and don’t climb back in until my prayers are said.  I run all my worries in front of my Father. He always does listen, and it’s not a bother.  Then back to my bed, I lay down in a crash and hope that He helps me find sleep in a flash.  And even if sleep doesn’t come right away, ...
