same time it s so frustrating sometimes i wonder if maybe i ve been so used to living in the chaos of trauma the last 20 years have been a party of the worst kind it s feels insane to even write that down 20 years that i don t even know what it s like to exist with less stress and trauma i got up this morning feeling much the same and i looked out my bathroom window and muttered to myself seasons change i won t feel like this forever it s something my mom told me years ago when i was complaining to her about how hard life as a young mom felt she said even when it feels like the longest darkest never ending winter know that spring s coming and if you get stuck in the rainiest most miserable springtime know that warm summer days are coming and if you feel stuck in the driest drought of summer know that cool autumn days are coming next there have been times when i ve felt trapped in the darkest winter season i could imagine and it seemed unending but i trusted and held onto the hope that my spring was coming and things in my life would come back to life no matter what season you feel you re in know without a shadow of a doubt that seasons change try and find some beauty in the season you re in even if it s appreciating the dark quiet of hibernation and rest before you rise out of the darkness into something new genesis 8 22 tpt 22 as long as earth exists there will always be seasons

make a mess paint xangelle leave a comment on september art challenge psalm 23 5 6 part 3 isn t it amazing to be able to trust someone so much that even when we go through dark dismal places that we don t need to fear because we are never alone and we have the most incredible loving provider and defender and care taker i love this psalm there is so much beauty and depth within the words written here these last 2 verses resound inside me with their promises and truths imagine being brought to a dining hall and the doors are thrown open and you are escorted in and an incredibly important person shows you the most incredible feast laid out and it s all for you it has all your favorite foods and drinks and even some that are specifically nourishing to what you need at this exact moment it s been laid out perfectly to honor you now imagine that your enemies the people who have been opposed to you or angry with you or jealous or resentful or who have been treating you badly have all been brought in to witness you receiving this great honor it would be a weird feeling wouldn t it we aren t used to being extravagantly honoured especially in front of those who oppose or persecute us can you truly fathom what it is to be honoured by the creator of all think about that for a moment it was customary at the time for the host to lavish extravagance on their guests to provide for their every need and to protect them so not only are you being provided for and honoured and exalted but you know that you are completely safe and can be relaxed and refreshed at the same time having your head anointed with oil was also to refresh and revitalize you if your cup runs over it means you don t lack you have more than enough there is an abundance of blessing and provision in your life how amazing is that there s something incredible that happens inside of us when we acknowledge truths that we know but may not feel we can feel a lot of conflicting emotions but when we align ourselves and our feelings with his truth there is peace and joy even in the middle of uncertainty and chaos the acknowledgment here is that he does refresh and revitalize us and that he provides for us is in abundant ways we can trust that he is our good shepherd without a doubt with all certainty and confidence and assurance that s what surely means without a doubt with all certainty confidence and assurance goodness and mercy god s tender love that doesn t give us the punishment that we deserve will follow me they will persue me all the days of my life i will be chased after by his goodness and his mercy every day for the rest of my life and that s not the end because even when i die i will dwell in the house of the lord forever that s the hope that we have as believers that when all is said and done it s not just the end it s a whole new beginning and we will spend eternity with the one who loves us most with the one who created us who gave his life for us how incredible is that i love this psalm and the meaning and imagery within it take this psalm and recognize the immediate presence of it the personalized reality of it the relationship between him and you hold these truths tightly and it will change your life the lor d is my shepherd i shall not want he makes me to lie down in green pastures he leads me beside still waters he restores my soul when we truly encounter the reality of his love and his truth and his presence we are changed we can t help but be changed author patricia culley posted on march 28 2024 categories deep thoughts god me writing tags encouragement god s love goodness honour mercy psalm 23 the bible the lord is my shepherd leave a comment on psalm 23 5 6 part 3 shattered and beautiful i was thinking about times in my life when i ve felt so shattered and devastated by situations or circumstances i m talking about the times when you feel so beaten down or broken that you don t even feel like you have it in you to worship or praise or rejoice your way out of the situation what you want to do is fall on the ground in a heap and either have a tantrum or sob until you can t breathe or both or maybe you just want to curl up in the fetal position and hide have you been there or is it just me i love how real david expressed himself in the psalms the psalms are gritty and glorious and real and filled with emotion and heartache and suffering and joy and praise and worship and even frustration and a desire for revenge they ve got it all and when i have no words to speak what my heart is feeling there s always something in the psalms that resonates with me no matter the situation or circumstance in psalm 51 15 17 david is feeling all the feels and he cries out to god because he knows that praise will help him move beyond his immediate feelings you ve got to know that he s not feeling like praising he feels locked up maybe shut down but he knows what he needs to do he acknowledges that god isn t interested in the surface things like how good we present ourselves or what we offer or give up to make ourselves look or feel better about something i think verse 17 is one of my favourites think about the picture it presents god s pleasure is released like a fountain bubbling up and overflowing when we scrape up the pieces of our heart and offer them to him when we come to him with all our brokenness and wounding and shattered pieces and say here i don t even know what to do anymore have you ever had someone despise you it s an awful feeling especially if they are despising your weakness it s like getting kicked when you re already down but god won t despise you when you come to him shattered the opposite of despise is to cherish adore admire love that s how he will receive you when you bring your broken pieces to him imagine imagine feeling like you ve been broken into a million pieces and you can t possibly see how you are worth anything to anyone in the shape you are in you scrape together all the pieces and come before god with all the sadness and hurt and shattered ness that you are feeling and he looks at you with such love and compassion and holds all those pieces close to his heart until the warmth of his love softens them enough that he can mold and piece them back together into an even more beautiful masterpiece than what originally was may we offer those shattered pieces of ourselves to the one who loves us most trusting that he will create beauty from brokenness author patricia culley posted on march 22 2024 categories deep thoughts god me writing tags beauty beauty

understand what you are going through i know that i have i ve even said but god you never went through this this is huge and awful how could you possibly know what this feels like i remember saying that to god years ago when i felt so betrayed by some people and he said to me i too have been betrayed i know exactly what that feels like and it s hard and devestating especially when it s people you think you can trust and who claim to love you i remember when nathaniel died and i wanted to scream but you never had a son who died oh wait i remember crying out to him in pain and confusion god i hurt so bad it hurts to breathe to move i feel like i m dying when have you ever felt like this ya i don t know that i m the most reverent when i talk to god but he loves me even when and maybe especially when i m feeling raw and broken it was a few days later that i came across this verse and it hit me straight to my heart jesus was in the garden of gethsemane and he knew he knew he was about to be betrayed he knew that he was giving his life for ones who both did and didn t believe he knew the agony that was coming he knew he wished he didn t have to go through it all but was willing to because of love he said to his friends matthew 26 38 tpt my heart is overwhelmed and crushed with grief it feels as though i m dying stay here and keep watch with me he knows he really does know and because he knows you can trust that he is with you staying and keeping watch with you you are never alone he knows author patricia culley posted on march 14 2024 march 14 2024 categories deep
