I had a good friend of mine send me a message regarding a situation in her life. As I was sitting looking at the computer wondering how I should blog this morning, I suddenly realized some things in myself.
One of the things I told her was that "regardless of the truth in all of it, we just need to be loved on". And I realized that this is exactly how I'm feeling right now. Honestly I've never felt so alone in my entire life. Some would say it is by my choice. But I have a peace in my heart that I am doing what I am supposed to be doing right now. Remember yesterday when I kept asking God the purpose in my son's dog bite? I knew it was not going to be a good situation on so many levels but I prayed through it and just stayed focused on my son. I know biblical truths and I kept asking God what I was supposed to do in a certain situation and yet He gave me peace that I was taking care of my hurting child.
I can remember a Pastor once told me "Lori, the right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing." I was telling him about how someone was talking to me with anger when I was trying to help them and even if I was still trying to do the right thing and in biblical truth, the timing was all wrong.
I think one of the life lessons in what I'm going through is realizing how I need to change the way I mentor women. Sometimes we are so busy looking for the biblical truths that we don't necessarily see the heart and situations surrounding them. I have been guilty of that. I have worked very hard at being a women of character and in one quick swoop it was challenged. That saddens me. But as a friend once told me, put on the warrior paint and get ready to kick some major bootie. So I am not going to fight the ones that care and are just trying to help. I'm going to fight the one that wants me destroyed and that is Satan. He came close last night. But it didn't work and that is a victory in itself.
Push on beautiful women and find the comfort in your Father's arms. He's the only one that knows the whole situation and everything behind and in front of it. Let Him give you the truth and convictions if need be. He will do it in a loving way. Our trust needs to be solely in Him so that when troubles come our way, we don't lose sight of the big picture. And there is healing in any situation or circumstances. And I know that to be true for me right now.
"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.”- James 3:17-18
