There is a study out that shows people search for one of three things in their life - significance, security or acceptance. Usually it's a result of that having been lacking in their early years or as a result of some trauma. There can be some overlap in these areas. For myself, I can very clearly see that the thing I struggle with the most is the acceptance piece of that. When I am feeling triggered and unsettled it usually has to do with not feeling accepted or like I don't belong. Usually, I'm pretty strong and confident, but when I'm feeling weak or tired, those emotions can come flooding back through the simplest thing. I can trace it back very clearly to the experiences I had in my childhood and formative years. It frustrates me to no end when I'm having these emotional responses to things in my life because in my head I know why I'm having them, but it certainly doesn't stop the emotions from flooding every part of me. But I can also see very clearly...

Wednesday words of encouragement
ReplyDeleteSo many times you have encouraged me . Today I woke with these words from Isaiah in my head and thought of you,
Fear not,for I have redeemed you
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters
I will be with you
and when you pass through the rivers they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire you will not be burned..........
Much love,
L.x.
Dear Terri, Lynn thought how nice it would be if we gave back to you some of the words of encouragement.
ReplyDeletePsalm 121 is one that I used to read to my husband when he was in hospital last year, and these words I send to you with love;
The Lord watches over you-
The Lord is your shade at your right hand;
The sun willl not harm you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm-
he will watch over your life.
"I said, "I am falling", but your constant love, O Lord, held me up. Whenever I am anxious and worried, you comfort me and make me glad."

You ladies are the BEST!!!! Thank you so much. I love the scripture and I am clinging to His word. The Lord is definitely working this all out for His good but it's been hard!
