There are three qualities I notice and admire most in people: patience, passion, and honesty.

Lies are quickly trying to build a wall around me one brick at a time. Not too happy – I want to break through.

White lies, blatant lies, dishonesty. It’s really all the same. And I hate where it comes from. The enemy himself. He knows how to stack lies in our lives in a way that we become enclosed in a fortress of painful darkness. They can begin to rule you.

You weren’t good enough. You didn’t change. You were made to make money and pay bills. Follow the American Dream. Keep trying but you’ll never make it. Stop dreaming. You’re disposable. No one’s watching you. Everyone’s watching you. You’re on your own – stay stubborn and independent – that’s how you win.

Turns out I’m listening to my playlist on iTunes entitled “Make me feel better.”

The Truth makes me feel better. It really makes me better. Because my God is Truth and I want more of that to rub off and change me.

I’ve never had the intention of making this blog a place to vent about life or whine about my problems. I know everyone has their own struggles and joys in their own walk in life and with the Lord. Instead I hope this has turned into an opportunity where I can search for more of His truth and love and power in my life and provide a way where I can share what I’m learning with you, His dearly beloved.

Yes! You are beloved! Break free! The chains of lies in ones life need a Light. Recognize the lie as a lie and proclaim the truth over yourself. His insanely faithful love for us is more than enough to battle the lies we sometimes believe in.

I am loved! I am worthy! I was bought with the priceless blood of my loving Savior! I am unique! I am made to love! I am the will of God! He knows my plans and cares about me! I have no need to fear! He made me!

It’s scary when the lies seem bigger than I am. But “I AM” is bigger and more powerful than anything I think I’m dealing with on my own. Anything.

The Voice of Truth tells me a different story.

The Voice of Truth says, “Do not be afraid.”
The Voice of Truth says, “This is for My glory.”
