I read this quote on facebook this morning, and it had my full attention. The kind of thing I read and then re-read, and re-read again. So powerful.
God didn’t give us the strength to get back on our feet, just to have us run back to the SAME THING that knocked us down!
What’s knocked you down? What has you down in the muck today? Are you ready to get back up? Make a decision and go! God will give you the strength and power to change and continue to change.
Are you back up? Don’t return to the same thing that knocked you down. You are stronger and braver than you give yourself credit for. Don’t believe the lies that circulate in your head. You were made for greater things…
Proverbs 26:11 “As a dog returns to its vomit,
so fools repeat their folly.”
2 Peter 2:22 “Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”

Hi Traci. This is an excellent post and your blog looks lovely, too. I’ll be perfectly honest, I was googling Christian blogs so I could leave a comment and advertise my own blog. Please check mine out when you have a moment! I guess you are in the US, well I’m over the duckpond in lil’ ol’ Englande! Howdy, I believe is what you say over there?!! If you add my blog to your blogroll, I’ll add yours to mine!
