Fresh Perspective

So as you can tell, me and John have embarked on blogging on our own websites, aside from Joshua's about the life transformation that is seriously taking place in the Henry household. God has grabbed onto our hearts and has given us energy and joy to become very close to him...

Tonight, I picked up a journal from August of 2006 and there was one journal entry in there that brought extreme tears to my eyes. Some of the things I said about myself in there, really called me out. I could not believe that I ever thought, and still do at times, think that way about myself. I really saw how unhealthy I really do think about myself. I then began to go on a read my entire journal ( okay maybe 20 entries ) in that particular book, and was so overwhelmed. I never knew the Casey in 2006 could encourage the Casey in 2009. The scriptures that God impressed upon my heart have really encouraged me tonight. I am not going to lie, I was broken and beside myself that I would ever say some of the things about myself that I did, but I did, and apparently I was in a low moment in life. But also, reading more into my journal, is that I shouldn't think of myself to much at all - even an unhealthy self esteem, can lead to self absorbtion.

Just hang on as I let you into the intermost workings of what the Lord is teaching me, as a woman, wife, mother and daughter of the King - My only hope is that they encourage you as well! :)
