Psalm 27:8 says "When You said 'Seek My face,' my heart said to You, 'Your face, O LORD, I will seek.'" This is a blog about ways and times and places of seeking and finding God.

Confessing my Struggles
OK, so I posted a video about this, like, maybe an hour ago, but I have something else I want to say about that. In general, I want to be seen as a strong woman. Mentally and emotionally strong. (I don't really care about physical strength for myself, I know I'm not strong.) So I don't like talking about my feelings. I always feel bad when I do. I feel stupid and weak when I talk about my feelings, when I talk about my grief and my pain and my struggles. But let me tell you something. Galatians 6:2 says "Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ." James 5:16 says "Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." Guys, I think we're supposed to talk to each other about our struggles, and our difficulties. I think Satan doesn't like it when we do. Because in Ecclesiastes it says "Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up." (That's Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). For me, and my own sin, I have Abby, who not only is encouraging me to work to improve, but who also will help me get back up when I fall. So yeah. I think it's important that we share. And I'm going to try to be better about that.
