I felt ganged up on but then it hit me. (Thanks to some much needed prayer time). The enemy was filling my thoughts with doubt. He was attacking me. But worse, I was letting him. In Yes to God, I felt SO much healing but just days before this new study I honestly felt back to square one. How can I lead women about overcoming self-doubt when I am filled with it myself? Then God showed me....I went back and reread every blog post I had made for Yes to God. Wow, where was that girl? Why was I throwing her out the window? God spoke to me through those posts. He showed me his #perfectlove. He has me here for a reason. I don't quite know what that reason is yet but I am here. #Isaidyes and like I've said before I will #presson.
I could kick myself for the thoughts I had over the past few weeks. But you know what, through all of my illogical thoughts, GOD is there! He listens to me when I'm irrational. He listens to me when I am broken. He listens to me when I am elated with joy. He LISTENS! He might not always have the same answer I do but he shows me daily that he is in my life. It might be something as simple as a text from a friend, kids that aren't fighting or a husband who says "I love you" just because. All I know is that no matter what I have been through the one constant has ALWAYS been the Lord. Whether I was welcoming with open arms or turning Him away, He pursued me. He hasn't let me go. He won't. He's not done with me yet....

Absolutely, he is not done with you yet Heather! So glad you came to recognize the enemies lies and hand in all your doubt in between studies. Praying God's perfect love washes over you on this confident heart journey, cleansing you of all those doubts. Thanks for sharing so openly with the struggles you've experienced leading into this study. I have no doubt that there are others who found themselves in those same shoes and your message is going to encourage them to press on too!
Many blessings to you,

Awesome post! Hang in there sweet friend! Doubts are normal. But faith to move mountains is not. God's got this, as you clearly know. Thanks for keeping it real!!
Those pesky doubts from the enemy are so much easier to believe than God's truth..why is that? I think in time though and in really applying His truth and love that those doubts will be lessened every day and that gives me great joy in seeing the enemy defeated!! Blessed by your post Heather, thanks very much for sharing :) Blessings to you and your family :)
