This is My Confidence...

'What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?'

Romans 8:31

Every day something new, something different...no two days the same; no two encounters, conversations, the same.

We are new every morning...each day a fresh start, a new beginning, a chance to re-do, re-new, re-start, re-invent. There are no limitations beyond the physical, and even then, there is much we can do to work around, under, over, and through any problem, any challenge, any new vision and dream.

This morning as I sit in 'nothing like wood heat' coziness, I survey everything near and far...the faded blue of a winter morning sky, the white stretching as far as my eye can see, coating barns, houses, animals of many breeds and types, and I think on these things.

Hope and dreams had faded to sepia tones, slipping behind mental and emotional healing, hiding beneath the weight of doing better, achieving more, re-inventing me out of the rubble and carcasses of battered, broken, ground to dust woman I used to be.

New...every morning.

I step to one side and glance back, taking in the mountains i've surmounted, the oceans conquered, the valleys and pits crossed, and smile.

Between Gods steady hand and my at times un-steady feet, so much ground sits behind me...anything is possible dear lost ones, anything at any given moment. God is able...

Ephesians 3:20 says, “God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all we ask or think."

The confounding constant confusion, the mighty distress, the buzzing and incessant fog that permeates your mind, your spirit, your thoughts...all meant to keep you under, down in the pit, unable to escape the invisible bars of the incredibly effective cage of manipulation and mind-f*ckery.

God is able...Mighty to save, to lead away...you were not meant for such suffering at the hands of someone who professes to love all the while hitting, demeaning, cruelly attacking, then laying out a smattering of bread crumbs to keep you tied, chained, engulfed.

God is able...

My prayer today and each day forward is for clarity in the midst of that confusion, for courage in the midst of overwhelming fear, and most of all for a path that leads you to freedom, to peace, to kindness and compassion.

You are not alone, never alone dear treasures. God stands with you, sits with you, covers you as you suffer.

Every survivor stands with you...cheering on your flight from hell, hands clasped in solidarity and support.

Find one...find a survivor and you will find help.

Would we not my friends? Would we not do everything in our power to help another?

All things are possible...all things. The lie is that you cannot, that you are unable, useless and no one will help you, no one will believe you, no one will stand for someone like you.

Lies...

Today let truth be lifted high for all to see.

The truth is, you do all you do while fearing for your life, fearing for your sanity. Imagine doing all of that without the fear, without confusion, without lies and inhuman treatment.

You ARE strong

You ARE able

You got this...one step is all it takes. One quiet step, one quiet phone call, one turning of the head and heart in the opposite direction, seeking goodness and acceptance.

You got this....
