Do I Believe?

Last weekend I arrived at Kings Domain with bags in tow and a sense of expectation. I prepared by praying about who my conversations would include and who would I have an opportunity to encourage? I am not sure who I encouraged but plenty of women ministered to me. As I have said before, our family is going thru a difficult time. Apparently we are not the only ones! Often, when my eyes scanned the meeting room, I saw tears flowing. Watching women pursue growth and share their trials in the safe atmosphere of the retreat, fed my soul. 


So now that I am back home, I find myself in one of the most emotional weeks of my life. Why can't I hang on a bit longer to that great get-away feeling of communion with God? Why is my declaration of, "I am just going to trust God"  now sounding hollow and unconvincing? How can I go from proclaiming "I can do all things in Him who strengthens me" to, I don't want to get dressed and off the couch?


Do I believe what God says about Himself? Yes! Now to get it from my head into my heart!


I will repeat: 

Isaiah 54:10 (NIV)

 ¹⁰ Though the mountains be shaken
       and the hills be removed,
       yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
       nor my covenant of peace be removed,"
       says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
