God never promised us easy. Just promised us ETERNAL. If life was going to be easy, there would not be any point to living.
I always want to be honest and real with you. I am not perfect…I’m far from it. On Facebook and Instagram you only see one side of pictures. The happy smiling faces. But you don’t see the struggle, the ‘behind the scenes’, of trying to get the “perfect” shot.
Everyday we struggle with something. For me it’s anxiety, memory, even struggle with saying YES to God and having a smile on my face while saying YES. Something I don’t struggle with…fighting. I have always been a fighter and I do not think that is ever going to change. Yes I fight with my siblings, who doesn’t? That is not the fighting I am talking about. I am talking about fighting with something you cannot see. Fighting with the enemy.
I grew from my struggles and started the fight of living my BEST life. Fighting for happiness.
The day we say YES to God He vows to be our guardian. To protect us. Even when we are at our worst, He is there, fighting along side us!
I am learning that just because people have a smile on their social media pictures doesn’t mean they are actually happy. There is a storm inside of everyone. We just need to know where to truly turn to overcome the storm.
The answer is always JESUS!
As I write this my mind wonders to Matthew 14:22-33; when Jesus walks on water. I find myself comparing to Peter. I always have to see things to believe just like Peter. He says in verse 31, “Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?””
Why do we doubt? Why?? I am speaking to myself as much as I am speaking to you. I doubt Jesus by not listening even when His Word clearly says what I needed to hear!
So, ask yourself are you going to talk the talk or walk the walk? I encourage you to fight the fight and see where God takes you.
I wrote this exactly a year ago and it couldn’t be more true. This was around the time when I started feeling my Lyme symptoms come back. I will always fight for my heath. Going home does not mean I am giving up. I’ve gone through a serious hardship that no one prepared me for. I’m going home to recover, heal, and find my way back to ME.
I’m going home to continue my fight and start living my BEST life again with my fiancé, soon to be husband, my best friend and I cannot wait! 🙂
