sisters in Christ

My main support group minus Amanda.

I don't know what I would do without these ladies.

They love and listen unconditionally.

They encourage and admonish.

They tell me the truth and instill hope.

Always there when I need them.

"My feelings are not God, 

God is God.

My feelings do not define truth,

God's word is truth.

My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives,

and sometimes ~ many times ~ my feelings are out of sync with the truth.

When that happens ~ and it happens every day in some measure ~

I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings,

but rather ~ I plead with God:

Purify my perceptions of Your truth 

and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with Your truth."
