Feeling Fabulous Friday Returns

Some days, I really don't know why I chose to make Friday's posts about "feeling fabulous." After all, there are so many days when I don't feel fabulous. Honestly, there are so many days when it is difficult for me to even get out of bed. However, I know that the original idea of these Friday posts was to look forward to healing and wholeness, to focus on the positive, and to encourage others. So I will press on and continue to post about how I am feeling, whether it's fabulous or not, and what God is teaching me about finding peace with my circumstances and living in the abundant life that He offers.

 ¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

                                                                 John 10: 10 ESV

²⁸ Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

                                                                 Matthew 11: 28-30 NLT

Today has been a day of bombarding myself with scripture and music that speaks of hope and healing and the love of God. I have been re-reading some of my old posts and asking the Lord to break this cycle that I have of tearing down what He has built up. The last three months have been such a challenge as I have gone off medication. I feel as if all progress was stifled for a while. I had a few setbacks, and I allowed myself to buckle under the pressure and to fall into the old habits of tearing myself apart. However, I know that I have to choose everyday to see the progress instead of the setbacks, and today I will rejoice because I am being remade. I am still seeking that wholeness that I posted about on the very first Feeling Fabulous Friday, and I will continue to pursue it and learn along the way.

This song is my new anthem:

Change in the Making

Lord, give me strength and replace my sight with yours as you make me new!
