The enemy is so good at whispering in the night. When I listen to his lies, I am defeated. When I finally realize I need to ask God what HE says about me, He is faithful and merciful to whisper sweet blessings to me. Ask then listen to the One who knows you best and most and loves you eternally.

I was convinced I didn't catch such things until I was humbled 6 weeks ago with the noravirus. I felt like I was on death's doorstep. And those kind of thoughts are normal in the middle of the night, sick or not.<br /><br />I always think of you as the perfect mom and I admire your attitude about all of the strife you have faced; however, it is really nice to know that you aren't perfect. :):)Erin @ Two Story Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489259700938920374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-30915707481016098222012-04-09T21:25:04.960-04:002012-04-09T21:25:04.960-04:00I wish I could hug your sweet neck.

You have come to mind several times since Blake's death. I continue to pray for you, your son, and Blake's family as you grieve. <br /><br />You are such an inspiration to so many, therefore Satan is prowling. I've been in your place before, wrestling in the middle of the night with feelings of failure inadequacies. Hang in there, sweetie. You are a beautiful reflection of GRACE!!! <br />((hugs))Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078543392410879361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-123621177814794392012-04-09T21:12:37.188-04:002012-04-09T21:12:37.188-04:00Feel better soon!

You weren't alone; my mom and I were both sick last night and my daughter had it today.<br /><br />Yes, in the dark of night many of my insecurities and anxieties come calling. Sometimes I cannot quiet them easily. And sometimes the self-doubt lingers into the next morning, afternoon and evening, which makes the next night even worse...I often just try to pray the worry away.<br /><br />Hoping you feel better soon!<br /><br />ErinErinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-600115795594082162012-04-09T19:54:01.350-04:002012-04-09T19:54:01.350-04:00Awww...

I tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep although I thankfully didn't visit the porcelain throne. :-)Nighttime is when I am at my most vulnerable and struggle with all of my doubts and insecurities. Now, this might sound too direct, my friend, but I know you know that that voice in your head is the one who wants you to actually believe those lies instead of the truth. Satan loves nothing more than to take our weak and weary moments and twist them into attacks on our spirit. None of us are perfect and we all fall short, but you are not a loser or a bad wife or a bad mother!!! I will pray that the Spirit of Truth will be ever real to you today and that you will find rest and peace and healing for your body and your heart! :-)<br />VanessaAt The Picket Fencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846200981778597675noreply@blogger.com
