Five Minute Fridays Doubt

Doubt
Such a strong word to be so short…
Perhaps like dynamite…a mighty blast for a small package.
Ironically, doubt works like that too… it needs very little to explode.
Doubt is a dweller…
Doubt dwells… waiting for a time to sneak in and remind me.
Past failures, current-strife’s, never-has-been’s, and never-will-be’s.
Doubt is definitely of the devil. No glorifying persona.
Doubt is that little lie that is told over and over whether it begins in my heart or in my mind I’m not sure… but it doesn’t stop at its root… it spreads like monkey grass… or a wild fire.
And oh how my flesh loves to fan that flame… the world pours on the kerosene…
Doubt really is a huge weakness of mine.
If I could learn to not let doubt dwell…rising above the occasionally doubt might not be so hard… winning the constant every day every minute battle of doubting is a never ending battle.
Lord, may I focus on victory through your son Jesus. May I dwell in Your mighty power, your everlasting reign.
Then, when doubt appears not from a dwelling place in me but from a fallen place may I rise to the battle and share your peace.

    Beautiful peace on something we all struggle with, Rebekah. Just stopping by from www.ournotsoengineeredlife.blogspot.com for the FMFParty and I'm so glad I did! May we all find the courage to battle back the doubt and find the peace that passes all understanding!

    Wow that was very real and honest - just the sort of post I love because it helps me be real and honest. Love the last two lines. Beautifully written. Thank you. A close neighbour at FMF this week.

Five Minute Fridays

Five Minute Fridays is where Gypsy Mama ( click here to visit her blog ) encourages everyone to write for five minutes. No edits. No over analyzing (which is the direct opposite of how I work and that's why I participate so I can get out of my comfort zone, learn, and grow). You can join too! Just write (or think) for five minutes. Today's topic is 'unexpected'. Unexpected Unexpected can be so good…. Like when that kind person at the grocery store with a full cart lets you in front since you only have a handful of items… Or when your friend calls you out of the blue just to say hey…. When you receive a gift just because…. Those kind words from the person you had no idea you meant anything to or even had an affect on… People can do things so unexpected. Then, there’s God. I know He is the Creator of everything. He loves unconditionally. He provides all things. God will never leave us or forsake us. God is always with us. God always has a plan. Still, when Go...

Steadfast Love

         In the last few weeks, I have been struggling… I can see all the ways God blesses me. All the ways He provides. I know in almost all my posts since I started writing on this blog about two months ago have been about how God takes care of us. I’m telling you it is like an annoying habit! You focus for just a few days on what God’s provided for you, and then it becomes a constant way your mind works. (It’s kind of like how people are doing 30 days of thanks on Facebook. I know it seems redundant and maybe even a little annoying to you, but you see for those people posting daily status updates on thanks has become a habit. A way of life for them.)           So, what’s my struggle? It is about love. Do you ever wonder about love? Why does your friend love you when you know your singing gets on her last nerve? Why does your significant other love you when you would rather recount your entire d...

Tired - Competition

That was it. I was tired. Not the tired where I will sleep well because my rest was well earned. Not the tired where you’re groggy and just need extra sleep. The restless tired. The dangerous tired. The ‘I am done with this!’ tired. Why? I was tired of competing with multiple screens: a TV, an ipad, 2 phones. Tired of competing with every professional and college sport broadcast – with the exception of women’s sports because we don’t get those on our TV. Tired of competing with presidential news and daily “to do” list that have more weight than US (as a couple). Tired of there always being one more chore before that project I want to get to can be started. Tired of the same ol' same. In the end I was just tired. Tired of a world where we have to compete for a loved one’s attention. Tired of competing with society’s mandates. Tired of being a slave to fashion and trends. Tired of competing with society’s warp version of pretty. Tired of competi...
