I love to ask questions. Many times I go through a period of asking everybody the same question. Right now im in one of those phases.
The question:
What three words currently describe you? Not your emotions, but you as a person.
What are your 3 words?

Ooohh, good question.
Not going to lie, the first word that came to mind was “hurting” (it’s been a really rough week) and then I got to the “not your emotions” part.
I’ve struggled this past year with separating what I feel and what I know. Especially with my family…I know God is going to bring healing but I feel the deep, deep pain. So I take either extreme…telling myself the pain isn’t there (stuffing it away) and looking only to the Lord OR turning my back completely (wallowing) and focusing on the despair. There has to be a happy medium because God calls us to live transparently, but He also says to believe in His Truth.
In my head my words are: faithful, beloved, and intentional. Key word being “head.” That’s where I want to be.
In my heart my words are: crushed, alone, and confused. I know you asked for words separate from emotions, but sometimes it’s hard to see past the palpable.
And thus the mind games begin again. I feel completely disjointed while at the same time knowing that the Lord calls me precious, forgiven, loved, restored, rescued, and the list goes on and on. Those are such good things to be called as a child of God! So why can’t I cling to those and believe so firmly in my head that as a result (or even vice versa) my heart can’t help but rejoice in the Truth?
Dear sweet Jesus, bring healing…
Well said, SB.
