Trust In You
He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah
and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says
to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For
the battle is not yours, but God’s.
2
Chronicles 20:15
The battle is not mine, the battle is not mine, THE BATTLE
IS NOT MINE... No matter how many times
I repeat those words to myself I somehow forget that God WILL fight for
ME!
Laynee is heading to High School. AHHHHHH….. Some days I am
excited for her and others I am flat out terrified. Terrified of what is to
come for her, for me, for our relationship, but most of all for her
relationship with God. I want her to be a leader, to stand up for Christ and
let nothing stand in her way. The battle
is not mine.
Avery is, well he is Avery.
He is so very special to us and I still can’t believe that God has
entrusted him to us! He begins his 7th grade school year at a new
school, Valley Christian Academy. I am
so excited for this new adventure for him. I truly believe that he will thrive
there, but…. As his Mama I worry. I
worry over how he will make it through a day with clothes that he hates the
feeling of, will the kids there accept him, will he become a confident little
man… This list of worry goes on and on for him. The battle is not mine.
Then there is Kambria, the light in the Shipp house. This past week she was diagnosed with
Dyslexia and a memory processing issue. My heart breaks to think of how she
struggles. Typing that last sentence
makes me cry. As a mom you never want your babies to struggle, to have doubt,
to feel different. I worry that I won’t be able to help her see just how
special she is and that she is an amazing gift from God. The battle is not mine.
I want the very best for all three of my kids and that best
is trusting God. Knowing that He has this. Giving them over to Him completely. All things I know I should do and should want
to do freely, but sometimes something just holds me back… As if I could do this
better. But, tonight I am sitting in my Jesus room crying out to Him and He
reminded me of all that He has gotten me through over the years. Why would He
stop now?
He wants me to hand over each and every fear that I have. He
wants me to step out on faith, give it to Him and let Him fight. The battle is
Yours and I will trust in You!!
