Confused
The more I think the more I wonder! I always end up over thinking and taking things to the extreme. I guess that is just the way I am. I think I should turn it up a notch, maybe even some more. Lets see how that goes.

Back to Basics
It certainly has been a while since I have written out my thoughts on here. Now I feel like it is that time again. A time to unwind my dangling thoughts and lay it out onto words. Life has taught me to be wise as time has taught me patience. The more I think about the present, the more I question. I have once again distanced myself from everything even the thoughts in my own mind. Disappointing the one I love most, but I knew you would always find a way for me to come back to you. You always give a no for answer and I love that about you. I am slowly learning how to cover up or hide how I feel. Nowadays, no ones can tell especially my sisters. It looks like it is time to write how I feel rather than just pushing everything away. My thoughts, emotions, ideas, questions, dreams, and etc. Let see where this road will lead me.

These two were supposedly based on a real couple, who said they wouldn’t board a life boat as long as there were younger people still aboard the ship. They both went below deck, presumably to their room, and that’s the last time they were seen.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7, NLT)
So many people today are living with less than God’s best because they’ve allowed fear to stop them from pursuing their dreams. We have to remember that fear is not from God. It’s a lie from the enemy to paralyze us and steal our power.
Today’s verse tells what God has given us: power, love, and self-discipline or self-control. When you are confident in God’s promises, there’s nothing that can stop you. But when fear creeps in, you hesitate. You’re not as strong as you were before. You feel powerless. Not only that, but it affects your love. Love prompts us to give, and when we are afraid, we tend to clench our fists and act selfishly. Fear also affects our self-discipline or self-control. It makes us panic and do things without thinking.
If you’ve allowed fear to steal from you in any area of life, today you can be free—you can be finished with fear. Conquering fear starts with a choice to believe God’s promises and then taking a step of faith to act on them. As you step out, God will be with you. He’ll give you power, love, and self-discipline so that you can confidently move forward into the abundant life He has for you!
“Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust…” (Psalm 40:4, NIV).
Is your trust in the Lord today? Trusting in the Lord is a decision we make just like we choose anything else in life. You chose what to wear today, you probably chose what you would have for breakfast, and you can choose to trust God today, too! And just like the decision to receive salvation, when you choose to trust God, there is a peace that settles on the inside of your heart. There are blessings in store for you when you trust Him.
No matter what you are facing in life today, you can have faith that God will come through for you. You can trust that His Word is always true. In Psalm 32, David calls God his “hiding place.” In other words, not only can you choose to trust God in the midst of your difficulty; you can actually hide in Him and find rest for your soul. When the circumstances of life seem to be overwhelming, choose to trust that God is ordering your steps. Find security in Him knowing that He’s making your crooked places straight and leading you into the everlasting life He has prepared for you!
