When i was thinking about beginning Just for Women Wednesdays, i knew there were some people id love to have guest post and below is one of my favorite bloggers of all time...
So enough from me, let Emily encourage you today
Hi everyone! My name is Emily and I blog over at Newlywed Moments about everything from romance to recipes to real life. I want to begin by saying thank you so much to Terri for letting me guest post here today! What a privilege it is to be here and get to know you lovely readers!
Some random facts about me: A year ago, I got married to Hudson – my best friend and high school sweetheart. I love Jesus. I hate coffee but I’m still addicted to Starbucks. I’m from the northeast but secretly wish I lived in the south. Oh, and I absolutely LOVE making blog friends…so make sure you come “visit” my blog!
Today I want to get "real" with you guys.
Sometimes I struggle with fear.
Fear of all the "what ifs" running through my head.
What if someone breaks into our apartment? What if I get a call that my husband was in an accident? What if someone really close to me dies?
They're legitimate fears, maybe, but does that make them okay to dwell on?
No.
God is so much greater than our fears.
Why do I even worry when we know He already has a plan? He has been so faithful in the past, so it should be no question to trust Him with my future.
I have been so encouraged by this Bible verse: "Be strong and courageous; do not be terrified or afraid because of them. For the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you." -- Deuteronomy 31:6
When we dedicate our lives to God and make daily choices that honor Him, He will never leave us.
There's no need to worry.
Just some thoughts from my life today :)
These are awesome thoughts, and I love the scriptural backing.
ReplyDeleteI agree we should never be afraid.... When we strip away the layers of all the preconditioning we have gone through in our life , we see our True Self, our Soul. It's then we let go,of any fear... I always say Trust the Light... It shines within xx
ReplyDeleteSometimes we are afraid of things we do not know, but it should also mean that we have to trust God at all times.
