Because I am His

I leave Peru in five days. My emotions are all mixed up. I want to go home but I am afraid of being "lost" when I get there. So much has changed inside and outside of me that the fearful flesh part of me is saying "You are going to face heartache and purposelessness because you will back to your old routine."



But this is what the enemy wants me to believe, not what God has planned! I have to to stop looking at my past (or even my present) and live victoriously in every situation. My God is the ruler of the universe, and has given me the power to overcome fear by the Holy Spirit. No circumstance, no difficulty can undo what He has done in me. I am a woman of purpose. A woman of purpose is not controlled by her emotions, she uses her emotions to aide in her purpose - to advance the kingdom of God.



I am unique and beautiful. I am encouraging and courageous. I am whole without a man because I have The Man with me at all times. The words that I speak and the things that I do are powerful. my life can and does inspire others. I am truly loved, treasured and respected by the Lord. He has put people in my life to help me grow, because He cares about me.



My future is secure in His hand and He cannot drop it or mess it up. I am making a difference in someone's life just by obeying Him. When I feel like I am falling apart, or like I am lost, it is only because I have moved my focus from my Savior's face to my feet.



I am no longer a girl controlled by fear.

I am a woman, armed with praise and testimony, fighting in the army of the Lord.

God is so faithful!!!! He loves His children so much!! He wants the best for us!!! He knows the deepest parts of our hearts!! And we can trust Him!!

This is what I have been learning in Peru. Coming to new place, farthest away from home that I've been, by myself, has caused me to see beyond myself. I have to see people and circumstances through God's eyes if I am to live with purpose. Life without God is void of purpose. I cannot have real peace unless I ask Him for it! And He always, always, always answers. And with the peace He gives hope. Hope does not always come like a wave, sometimes it creeps up into your heart until you notice it and enjoy it.
