Hello! My name is Dona. I have lived in community for 3.5 years. I came to visit a few times first, then one time i never went back to my home. I thought i could stay a year, get healed, then get on with my life. Well, my life is going on, but i am still here. Reminds me of the saying, “You never know what God is up to, but you always know where you are with Him.”- and this is what God is speaking to me about lately- The promises He has made to me. They are all positive! One I am focusing on right now, that is a favorite one of mine- ” I have determined to do you good, so do not fear” Zechariah 8.15. This is a short, simple vs I can hang on to right now.
The main trial I am having these days is learning how to get out of hopless despair! Sounds challenging doesn’t it? It is!- an impossibility with out a powerful God, who has the power to peel me up off the pavement, when i feel that down.- Recently Ihad a picture of how I felt,..-like I had been flattened by a pavement roller, into a thin strip of me. Yeshua is the only one I know of that has the ability to peel me up off of the pavement, and make me stand up again. I have lived most of my life in this state, and seem to have been stuck here for a year now. But I am learning some tools to help me, while I’m in it. One of those is as I mentioned, strengthening my christian host (the believing part of me) with God’s promises to me. It gives me some hope at least… I will share the other tools with you next time! -Dona
