My heart to Yours.......

It's been forever since I have posted a blog. In fact I have had a post ready to put on here in my journal for a few days now...but for some reason I haven't posted it yet. I guess because I really wanted to share my heart with you...and my other post just seemed like I was just going through the motions...not really REAL. Well I am doing a Beth Moore study up here with a group of ladies, and I love her. She is so inspiring...when I'm having a rough day, I open up my Beth study. & I'm always so excited to go to Bible study on Thursdays. Anyways, I've had a great past month and a half up here as far as homesickness goes, and adjustment. But the past two weeks have been so hard. For those of you who have moved I'm sure you've experiences some of the anxieties or even just moving away from home is hard to. So..Beth got me all pumped up tonight as I was doing her study. She is encouraging us to BREAK THOSE BONDAGES in our life...that put us in captive before our Lord and keep us from serving Him fully. Those bondages are anything from pride, insecurity, worry, doubt, faithlessness, unbelief  or whatever is keeping you from taking a step closer to God. Those bondages can seriously wear you out!! I am so thankful I am on this journey to freedom from these obstacles. I was humbled tonight after doing my Beth study to open Psalms and just go through some of the chapters and jot down words that God has promised me in the Bible. I came across so many promises that I hadn't ever even realized. I wanted to share a few promises with you because this life is full of hardships, whether you've moved somewhere new like I have, or experiencing a loss, or your just sad about life or an experience or outcome... we are called to come together as the body of believers and EXHORT one another and encourage each other when we are sad, happy or whatever stage you are in life. 
Psalm 1:6.....But the Lord watches over the path of the godly.....
Psalm3:3.......the Lord is a shield around me.........
Psalm 4:3...........He will answer when I call on Him........
Psalm 5:12...........He surrounds you with  shield of LOVE.....
To think the God in all His Majesty and Holiness cares that much about me.........He wants to protect and love me....When I am sad or happy He will answer when I call upon Him.....and I want to choose to BELIEVE that...not Satan's lies that easily discourage us and the bondages we are in........
So I hope this isn't to scatter-brained for you..... I just want to encourage you and let you know God does care. He has your best interest and I am choosing to believe Him today!
