There is still hope in his arms: Christian book with testimony

Strength

OK so this is going to be really really scattered but I posted an update a while ago with this picture

And I explained that I felt like my wheelchair was the only thing that represented me in my life. It IS something that represents me but the thing that I didn't realize when I was feeling that way was that it doesn't define me representing in defining are two VERY different things. The chair shows people how STORNG I can be if I'm willing to be and how yeah it might be harder to get out of bed sometimes with depression and anxiety and my chair all biting at me might be hard to get school work done sometimes but I do it that's what shows my Strength and it's TROUGH my relationship with God that I can see that!!!!!! I have people on here that will listen to me even though I won't mention you all I want to mention a couple of you BananaPieLove warhawk_ BluePanfreakshow777 BelieveInHisLove whether it's mentioning me or answering my questions for granting prayer requests or just plain asking how my day was or putting a heart on my conversation wall <3 or just commenting on my story :) everyone stories that I've mentioned here have helped me another thing that will help you if you're feeling similar to how I am is an acronym that banana used

Something that has been testing my strength lately is a surgery that is scheduled for July 13 the only thing that squelches it is reading my Bible

This is a prayer that I wrote talking about the surgery I'm going to type it out : Lord thank you for helping me know that I am worth everything that my life has to offer please help me to make the right choice with my surgery if it is the right thing to do please give me peace at my next appointment Tuesday and if it is not please guide us to the right option for us. Please turn my sorrow into joy. I know that you want me to spread your love please keep your healing hand on me through this process. I feel calm well I'm praising you and building my relationship with you but nervous and everything else. Please steady my heart oh Lord you are great in everything . You are right and just in all things lead me in the right way through your son Jesus who sits at your right hand forever with the Holy Spirit rain and guide me forever and help me to live in the present, and not worry about the future and live my life centered around you. In your name I will always pray AMEN. (IT IS SO!) The power in that word amen it is so I believe the proclamation of our belief we need to remember the power in prayer and the power of God. We really need to realize how lucky we are to have that hope I was looking through some of my old songs and they were extremely dark and now I look through things that I've written this past year and recently and it's just so hopeful compared to how it used to be I never thought it was going to be like that again I feel like that is something we forget and we feel we need to blame God for problems when really it's arson that separates us from him and if you could please add me to your prayer request list because I am honestly freaking out about that surgery right now. Heh heh.......Also what does the cross mean to you??

I've heard this question asked and I've seen a lot of good answers and I've asked this question to a couple people and gotten beautiful answers i'm sorry I've been taking from a lot of people's work lately but it's just been inspiring me!!! 😅❤

And the crucifix the resurrected Christ we always talk about but we don't really talk about the crucifix as important as the resurrected Christ is we need to talk about the crucified Christ as well

God bless you all!
