This Is Now

Familiar feelings creeping inside of me, Amazing how a simple conversation, Things I thought I'd buried way back when: Fear and insecurity, I thought that I had victory, But tonight I face the battlefield again. Amazing how a simple conversation Can cause the loss of so much ground I've gained. A long-forgotten memory, invading my stability; At times like this, it helps for me to say, "I'm here, this is now; I'm exactly where God wants me. I'm here, this now, that the past no longer taunts me." It's really very clear, all that matters is I'm here. I'm here and this is now. Nicole Niederer. This is from a book I'm reading If Mama Ain't Happy... Ain't Nobody Happy. by Lindsey O'Conner. The back reads Lindsey uncovers the hidden struggles women meet on their way to joy and shows how to find balance in the process and contentment where you are. You can experience joy-God's joy-that puts new meaning in daily tasks and makes life worth celebrating. I have had this book for many years and just started reading. I forgot I had even had it. I know its not a world changing book but maybe a little life enlightening for me. God is good.
