I can remember how I felt in the years of chronic migraine headaches that kept me in the dark, isolated from my family & people I cared about. My debilitating pain that wouldn’t allow me to read, listen to music, write, have conversation, watch television, let me eat meals with my family, go to my kids ballgames, be in church together….. For 7 years it seemed that I spent most of my time in my dark, quiet bedroom feeling like I’d been left, set aside to suffer, wondering if I was going to make it out alive. When you hear me share about an Abundant Life I want you to know that a life of purpose and passion, peace and provision, music & dancing is available for you and me right in the middle of disappointment, grief, hopelessness, loneliness & everything depressing . Circumstances & feelings cloud reality!! Truth be known God is always working every detail of our lives to work the miracle and bring Himself glory.
I wish I could sit across the table with a cup of coffee and hear your story,,,,,
Sooooo can I ask you…. what is the impossible piece of your life that you are struggling with today? It’s okay to admit there is such a thing! Maybe your thoughts sounds somewhat like this…..
“Abundant Life? Maybe for her…. but me?? Hummmm…….
In theory/for others/later/when these things work out… then maybe. If the test results come back good? When you get past this bad situation or out of this miserable relationship? Will it happen for you when you get the $$ or the job, the house or the spouse?? Your marriage may seem doomed; your finances a disaster; your family a disappointment.”
Let me tell you that there is a real enemy and he has his sights on you. Maybe this isn’t new information but let this sink in! This enemy is relentless in his objective to steal, kill & destroy all that you love, all that you hope for, dream of and treasure. He wants your peace, your confidence and will keep you distracted, tied up and focused on what you don’t have to keep you away from what you do.
I come to testify to the hope in what seems lost, impossible or not available to you. I declare God is good, and He is making Himself known to you! Right here!! Right now!! He wants to dance with you and make your heart glad again. I encourage you to come in close… lay your head on His chest, put your ear to His heart, look into His eyes and listen. Let Him lead you in this dance. There is fullness of joy in His presence. He is your reason to believe again, hope again, & live a miraculous & abundant life. Outside of Him there is nothing good and lasting.
Turn up the music Beautiful, look into His eyes and dance the night away…..
Be blessed,
Marla
