Deep Breaths

I have fallen. I have failed. I have hurt myself and others. I have been wrong. I have been wronged. I have lost. I have grieved. I have given. I have taken. I have let go. I have held on. I have won. I have ran. I have stayed. I have tried. I have given up.

Deep Breath.

I am kind. I am mean. I am wild. I am quiet. I am bossy. I am a follower. I am judgmental. I am gracious. I am strong. I am weak. I am bold. I am meek. I am ahead. I am behind. I am tired. I am energized. I am found. I am lost.

Deep Breath.

I want to soar. I want to hide. I want to speak. I want to think first. I want to be the best. I want to melt into the background. I want to be bold. I want to run away. I want to be better. I want to give up. I want to share my story. I want to hide my story. I want to spend. I want to save.

Deep Breath.

We have done many things. We are many things. We want many things.

We are at conflict within ourselves on the regular.

There is constantly a battle raging within us and around us.

Deep Breath.

We are a mash-up of sinful and forgiven.

Deep Breath.

God is NOT surprised by us. He is NOT surprised by the battle that wages in our minds and in the spiritual realm.

GOD IS OMNISCIENT = ALL KNOWING.

GOD IS OMNIPOTENT = ALL POWERFUL.

GOD IS OMNIPRESENT = EVERYWHERE.

Sometimes I think we just need to take a few deep breaths and breathe in the presence of our Lord who is ALWAYS with us. We need to take a moment and step back from the circumstance and ask the Lords to show us TRUTH. Breathe in HIS truth.

He is the AIR we BREATHE. Sometimes we need to take a moment and breathe that in and acknowledge that.

Deep Breath. Breathe HIM in. Breathe in His TRUTH.

We have done and will do many things. Breathe HIM in. We are many things. Breathe HIM in. We want many things. BREATHE.

Father,
Today I have been thankful for the sunshine and for a successful day with Easton and the potty. I have also been frustrated with Grayson's constant crying and clinging. I am been fun and silly with my boys and have been stern with them. I have been overwhelmed with my house and all that needs to be cleaned. So I sat down here in my happy place, my office and I breathed you in deep and you gave me peace and perspective. Sometimes I just need to take a deep breath, like I ask the boys to do, and allow YOU. Thank you Lord for your presence. Thank you for your love. Thank you for your forgiveness. Thank you for your truth. Thank you for being the air I breathe. Thank you for this moment here with you. I love you, I desperately need you, I want you near always. Thank you Heavenly Father for who you are and for all you have been to me. Thank you for being God. Help me to stop trying to be God and to just let YOU. In Jesus' name. Amen.
