10 Glimpses Inside My Soul {Day 30}

1. My heart is sad. Not defeated. But sad.

2. Sometimes I don't understand why God has allowed my family to walk the road that we've been walking with my Mom. Sometimes I sit and pout & say "why her?" I know that's immature, but it's how I feel sometimes.

3. I wish I could just tuck myself away for awhile and hide

4. I'm thankful for my kids. They bring me a lot of joy, even in very bleak circumstances

5. I hate satan. I hate his lies. I hate how he deceives people. I hate how he seduces people into sin. I hate the falleness of our world. I am so thankful that I serve the Redeemer who, one day, will turn everything right.

6. I think God has surrounded me by lots of brave people to inspire braveness in me.

7. I'm so grateful that Jesus is the friend of the brokenhearted

8. At the end of my life, I want people to say about me that I truly understood what grace meant--grace that has been shown to me from Jesus, and also grace that I gave to other people

9. Sometimes I wonder why God built me to be a daydreamer. I could sit and dream my days away. I love to create in my head and think up ideas and stories in my head. But sometimes that makes for a very full head. I wish there were a few more quiet moments in my day to get all those thoughts out of my head and onto paper.

10. I know that I learn lessons best when I'm walking through difficult times. God has more of my attention when there is great sorrow in my life. I don't know if that's normal, or if I'm just weak like that. I hope that by the end of my life I will have learned to cling to Jesus as much in the happy, prosperous, easy times of life as I do during the days of sorrow, pain and sadness.
