Get Real
We're told to be real. To be transparent and honest. Some think being real means straight up saying how you feel. My heart is torn between "straight up saying how I feel" and basing life on truth, not feelings. Basing life on God's word not my passing moods. Want me to get real? I want to live real.
Being real: I'm tired. I'm running on empty.
Living real: God is my strength and my healer.
Being real: I miss my family and friends. I miss Pizza Town.
Living real: They visit! Facebook and email! DOUBLE BLESSING of old friends and NEW friends. El Ranchito.
Being real: Toxic people.
Living real: God's favor.
Some criticize my lack of "being real" (straight up saying how I feel). What they don't realize is that I'm choosing to "live real" (straight up believing in God's word).
"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice and fear), but He has given us a spirit of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control." 2 Tim 1:7

Loved this! Living real is a choice and a frame of mind.
amen! very well put~
my mom is always reminding me about the verse about speaking the truth in love (Eph 4:15). i have a problem with tact...but I have been convicted lately that I need to be more aware of my complaining and start to speak in thanksgiving more. thanks for this post.
I came here on a rec .... hope you don't mind, but I would like to rec also?! Living real has to come BEFORE you can ever be real!
I need this perspective:) I REALLY do!
i LOVE this!!
@fourkidsonemom - @The_Carpers - Thanks for the rec!
Hey, appreciate it for taking the effort to do this. I like your webpage, although it took a sluggish reader like me some time to via throughout entire page and the many comments.
