Having extremely overwhelming emotions can be hard, so it's really nice when I have tools that make coping easy.
Before this photo was taken I could feel my insecurities and fears creeping up. I could feel the muscles in my chest tightening. I felt like I was fighting my emotions, and they were winning.
Five minutes after this photo (and a lot of deep breaths), I felt confident, brave, and I was reminded of my inner strength. That tight feeling went away, replaced with empowerment and hope.
The truth is, I have way more control over my emotions than I let myself believe I do. We all do. Sometimes we just need to figure out how to remind ourselves of that.

Today, today … there are few words that can express where my heart is being wretched, torn, refined. As I look at the For Such A Time As This Garden I have deeper understanding of the levels that I’m being stretched and grown. And yes, this helps me as I “feel the burn” throughout my body into my muscles. Some days it is easier to look at the positive perspective. Other days, the enemy is so ruthlessly attacking that you feel like an elephant is sitting on top your straw while you are underwater.
Great thing is …
Feelings are not TRUTH.
Feelings are not LEADERS.
Feelings are not to guide you.
The Word is TRUTH.
The Word Leads.
The Word will not fail you.
Ever grateful to have The Word as my life preserver while I am doing as The Word says and “Arise”ing, "Being Courageous" and most importantly "Doing" as the matter is mine and I get to exercise my authority and empower whichever troop of angels I choose.
Today …
today …

I know, I say this every time, some would say its "random" selection but I know who leads me and prepares my daily Garden for me to walk with Him in. My heart is so filled with joy at almost how much I am loved and trusted to do what He is leading me to do. I am humbled at the care He took in creating the emotional and mental growth support for today. It was as always … spot on with where I am walking in life today.

Don’t you just adore how when you seek where to go, that it takes you to a place in scripture that was written well before your time … but is just like it is written for exactly where you are at right now, today?
Well, today is one of those days. I’ve read this verse many times but today I had such an intense desire to dig in and dive deeper to see what was mine to get FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. Sometimes, it just feels like a two-by-four right between the eyes. Looking up the meaning of the words and the synonyms pulled it straight into and out of my gut. Can you say “sucker punch”? Before today I would have said that I have rarely if ever had anger, wrath or malice … BUT GOD … It’s so easy to take a word at the meaning that you define it as in your head that fits with your life and keeps things comfortable and honorable. However, progress does not come without refinement. Refinement without the fire of truth. I am ever grateful for the refiner’s fire. I’m thankful to be refined and deal with this now rather than later. To receive and live with my blessings now rather than never.

Wow! Last night our neighbors had an intense battle that had me praying a safety covering over all and my husband out in the below freezing weather being Jesus skin on offering a jacket and releasing peace into the atmosphere. Then today, my heart is for speaking a blessing over you and Deuteronomy 20:1 was the scripture put on my heart to base it on. Does it get any better than this? I adore following the leading of the Holy Spirit as it is NEVER wrong and always what I need For Such A Time As This that I am currently walking in at that moment. I am grateful I can stand firm on His promises and say, “NOT TODAY SATAN!”.
