Yep. Today was one of those days. I won't go into details, because I feel like the enemy would like me to pout about them and complain.
What I am going to do is write tonight, so that I may help someone else along their road sometime. Maybe just one person, but that is enough.
I am human, and have a hard time sometimes. I'm sure my raging hormones in the 11th week of pregnancy didn't help my situation today. Sometimes I feel as though a scab was ripped off and I'm bleeding the same wound over and over again. What is up with that? I wanna scream at myself, "Get over it Rachel!"
I know that not everyone I come in contact with knows Jesus, so it's not fair to blame their behavior. I am responsible of my own choices and my own reactions. I know that's why my purpose, to share Him with everyone that doesn't know him, is evident. I also know that my Chazown is to help women find intentional Joy, every day, within every circumstance.
So today, after a few (hormone induced) tears, I want to tell you this.
If you have had one of those days, know that God is in control.
He loves you.
The enemy cannot steal the JOY within you.
You have purpose, and an intricate plan for your life.
Don't let the bad days, emotions, or mean people get you down.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one
Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.
And one of my all time favorites:
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

I'm going to go eat some chocolate ice cream now. Have a fabulous night!
