Lies Versus Truth

I am going through a Bible study with a few ladies titled "Lies that Women Believe and the Truth that Sets Them Free" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. This was the first real week to discuss the book and I've already been blown away by the amount of lies I have accepted as truth. There is a section in the book with a list of words: tired, defeated, depressed, frustrated, lonely, angry and a few more. I was asked which of these words describe how I feel right now. I had a very difficult time verbalizing it. As stated in past posts I am a very private person (or am I really since I have this blog? Hmmm). Anyway, we will work under the assumption that I am a private person or that at least I don't like to let people into my life enough to see the dirty laundry. Someone then said that believing that I had to keep all of this to myself is a lie I am embracing. I never thought about it like that! So, I tearfully pulled out a few of the words that I so readily highlighted when by myself. It was hard, but I feel somewhat lighter if that makes sense. I then came to realize that all of those words I highlighted are lies. Example: I am not lonely for Christ is always with me. He has also provided a great family, friends and church to support me. I can't wait to see what else God reveals to me through this study. I'll keep you updated. :-)
