Over the last couple of weeks, I have had three women speak into my life just what I needed, and none of them were aware of the power of the words they spoke to me. The first occasion was at a doctor\u2019s appointment when the nurse told me to be \u201ckind\u201d to myself. I am on a journey through this life and I am struggling. Then yesterday I was talking to a friend I have not spoken to in months and she told me \u201cyou are strong,\u201d you will get through this. Then just this morning in a meeting the speaker told us to \u201cnurture\u201d ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>So, it took three women in three different ways for it to finally sink in that I need to be kind to myself, know that I am strong, and to nurture myself. I am challenging myself to speak truth to myself, writing down three things each day that I am thankful for. Of course, there are hundreds of things I am thankful for each day, but to put a few of them in writing will help me to look back and remember all the good on my hard days. My circumstances are not likely to change, but I can sure change my attitude and find my new normal.<\/p>\n<p>I know that God put these tree women in front of me to speak words of truth and I am grateful for it!<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Lord is my strength and my song; He has given me victory\u201d\u00a0<\/em>(Exodus 15:2). This verse is written in the present tense. Not the past, not the future, but NOW. Now He has given me strength, a song of praise, and victory in my circumstances\u2014right now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cLord, I know that I am right where You want me to be at this time and that it is part of Your perfect plan for my life. I thank You that you know exactly what I need even when I don\u2019t have the words to ask. Thank You for putting people in my life that care about me and encourage me. I pray in Jesus\u2019 precious name, Amen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-women"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p92wjD-6J0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25854"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25855,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25854\/revisions\/25855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lccredding.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
