Love how God drew you near through His Word in old posts. I often re-read stuff I've written because even in the writing God is feeding me personally. Our process of transformation truly is daily (especially as a Mommy 😊). Know you are not alone in your struggles. Thank you for daring to be honest. xxxAnna Smithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920411905278513062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253929553855999910.post-82945945297013284902016-09-07T08:01:46.878-07:002016-09-07T08:01:46.878-07:00Kristina,

You are too hard on yourself and thankfully, God pushes past all of your defenses to show his love to you! You write from an honest, loving heart and I love how your own words serve as inspiration to you. I often read my past journal scribbles to see how I came through difficult challenges in the past and know I can do it again. Kristina, you are a lovely work in progress, as we all are, and keep moving forward -- I'm cheering you on! xoValerie Siscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235325506474887234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253929553855999910.post-32982114074748473522016-09-07T06:07:15.071-07:002016-09-07T06:07:15.071-07:00It is so nice to be able to go back and reread wha...It is so nice to be able to go back and reread what we have journaled. I always think about the Israelites and how they repeated their mistakes a lot, but remind myself too of how God was so longsuffering and merciful. I have been there too, friend -when the thoughts just won't stop and you also feel like made a mistake in picking out moms. He doesn't expect perfection but as you said, wants a heart for Him. I love reading the Psalms that David wrote when I get down in the dumps!

Thankfully when God redeemed you, he knew all about your anger. And yet He still chose you and loves you. He has not cast you aside. Your redemption isn't about what you do or don't do. It's about what He's done. Lilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436322794288713383noreply@blogger.com
