Hey my sweet blogging community, I haven't forgotten about you all, I really have been short of words lately because I have just felt so beyond broken and shattered, so I haven't even been able to encourage anybody because myself is pushing through a deep struggle. But I'm not going to give up, never once, I keep pushing to read my word and up my dosage. Could I ask you guys for some prayer and an extra dose of strength. I may look okay on the outside, but honestly It all matters what is on the inside how your soul is, It doesn't matter any about the outside appearance. I smashed my toe today, cracked my phone. I just sometimes want to give up completely but that's when God picks me right back up, my tears seem to not be coming out anymore because I have been crying out to God so much! My words are short today, because I just don't know where to begin but please prayer and upliftment is definitely what I AM in need of tonight!
So I wanted to share a couple scripture that comforted me this morning from my devotional and bible reading!! "Let us not become vainglorious and self-conceited, competitive and challenging and provoking and irritating to one another, envying and being jealous of one another" // Galatians 5:26 "Friends can destroy one another but a loving friend can stick closer than family" // Proverbs 18:24
" But the spiritual nature produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There are no laws against things like that" // Galatians 5:22-23
"DON'T entertain thoughts of FEAR!!
It's time for me to step up, and show the LOVE of JESUS and quit showing fear, God is my HEAVENLY FATHER, and I'm a born again CHRISTIAN, so I WILL NOT let the enemy get ahold of me anymore, HAHAHHAHHAHAH devil, get outta here! You are unwanted by me in the name of JESUS.
So the rest is going to be some snap shots from this week: Someone told me big pictures are better so I'm going to give it a shot.
Hey Guys, Lets be a little JOYFUL
XOXO- Sarah Elizabeth
Its's getting better and Better!!!!!
"All things are possible through Christ who Strengthens me"
Hey my dear blog family, as I sit here in my front yard watching the sunset fall down with browsing on my laptop. I decided to just share a post. I just wanted to remind you that as easy as it is to give up we cant let the enemy win. Want to know that your loved by Jesus Christ because you are. Well I don't blog much anymore just because college and been trying to get myself out of the funk I was in, but Im back to me. As Ive been alone alot, during this time I have been praising God through every breath I breath lately. Praising God and in prayer and interceding is all I seem to do to find my Joy again. Let me tell you Joy can easily be taken, but we don't have to let it be taken do we? No we don't! Joy is a fruit of the spirit and its just fun to have. Do my blogs encourage somebody out there? Because lately when I do post them, it seems like I get nothing from it, I asked the Lord to show me how my blog helps somebody, if it doesn't I will no longer be doing them. It's just been a battle through this time of growing forward, if I do bless someones heart, I feel like its just Jesus and I, and of course that is all I need. He fulfills that loneliness that has been felt in my heart lately. It's an everyday battle to keep striving forward and to also remind myself that I am a daughter of a king and that I am loved unconditionally. My heart is hurting for this dark world, I just want to bring the complete salvation in. It is a struggle sometimes being 19 and in a financial struggle, and also the only one living for Jesus inside of my house. But let me tell you it has made me grow so much stronger in the long run. It has brought me to intimately know Jesus. Jesus fills my days with Love and Joy, Peace and Strength, and through my mistakes he forgives me. He reminds me that I am beautiful. Dear sisters, Everyone of you is BEAUTIFUL! Even through are flaws we are gorgeous to the Lord. He never gives up on us! So you say I'm battling discouragement, thoughts and torments from the enemy? Well say LORD forgive me, I repent now! Get down on your knees, or even just open your BIBLE, it has so much comfort and strength, and after its like a fresh start and the enemy flees. How awesome is it to know your loved and genuinely LOVED by others. Family doesnt always have to be blood, it can be the ones who God has brought into your life to make you someone NEW! I am so thankful for the ones who uplift me when Im on the last string, seems lately that has been where I was, but not NO MORE. Hallelujah! We serve a mighty God!
