Hello friends. I just want to let you all know I'm sorry I've not been more present to help lift you up. I've been so stuck in my own pit- it's been so difficult, but I have kept this group in my thoughts and prayers. Do any of you all have a war room? I'm determined to not be luke warm anymore. I did an abide prayer this morning and this was the go deeper -
What is a recent example of one of your plans being thwarted by God?
I'm left to wonder if God thwarted this recent reconciliation because I just was not prepared. I turned from God to quickly and put my eyes back on Lucas. Just breaks my heart thinking how quickly I made Lucas my idol. As I write this I am still struggling with him being my idol. If I only chased after God the way I long for and chase after Lucas. It really hurts me that I feel this way about a person of this world.

I think we are all guilty of not putting God first in our lives at some point. We're all just trying our best. Don't beat yourself up. ?

The Holy Spirit is pour conviction into you, which is such a huge blessing!! Just don't let the enemy have a foothold & get you caught in shame & guilt. It's so easy to get stuck there.. I just got out of that yesterday. Because of what Christ did, there is no condemnation for us... Only love & Grace.. Let's embrace His amazing Grace & love & allow Him to captivate out hearts- thus drawing us closer & to WANT to change & be better instead of feeling that we have to in order to please Him.

Thank you Mary. The Holy Spirit is definitely pouring conviction into me. I saw this train wreck coming and I didn't take ahold of all the weapons the Lord has given me to fight this. I tried to fight this on my own and control this on my own. The Lord was getting so close to Lucas. I know it. The devil had to pull out some big tricks and he definitely consumed me and my mind. I can only learn from this and pray that I am stronger in the Lord next time. And I know my Gracious Father will give me a next time. This is not the end. satan is not winning this fight for my family or me or Lucas's soul. I'm down, but I'm not out and I won't stop.
