..but, the Tongue of The Wise Brings Healing!

I would really like to thank you all for the overwhelming encouragement I received after my last post! From emails, to texts, to phone calls your words really touched my heart! and the Lord has really used it to minister to me and bless me. I thought I would share just some of what you said and pray that it will also be a blessing to you:

Sweet Chelsey, bring every thought captive and know those reckless words have no power...because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. You are precious and an inspiration to so many~your story of God's miracle in saving you has touched many lives and people you will never met this side of heaven. Many have been enriched by your gracious way of fighting though all your difficult days and relearning how to do what so many of us take for granted, as I am sure you also did before all this happened. Do we know why God allowed this to happen? No, but what we do know is God promised He'd NEVER leave us or forsake us, I am sure there has been many times and especially nights you had to be really still to find His presence but thankfully we do know He is there! Continue to look up, sweetheart...forget about looking around...it tethers us too much! much love and hugs to you

- James 1:2 "Consider it pure joy my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be MATURE and COMPLETE NOT LACKING ANYTHING." I know you have faced one trial after the next since the accident and I cannot presume to know the extent of all that you have had to face daily but I know Gods Word is truth and he is PERFECTING YOU! PRAISE GOD! And he is using you to minister to so many others including me! I love you girl. I got fired up reading that. Do not let it detour you. Give it back to God as I am sure you already have and let him take care of the rest. Like I have said before I love reading your posts and am so glad to be connected again and a part of your life and journey

-  when I have been accused of something terrible, or misunderstood, I remember Christ knows the truth, and that's good enough! He is the complete and holy guard of your situation. The person who said this is simply a tool of God's enemy, "THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN"...as Jesus commanded, "pray for those who spitefully use and abuse you" for His name's sake. We will never stop praying for you!

-  We have received a few negative comments on our blog and they've been pretty hurtful...but you are so right, the Lord is our defender and we don't need to explain ourselves. Love you and am praying for you girl!
- Chelsey your blog is such a great testament to the Lord's work in your life. I am so proud of you each and EVERY day. I hope this message box will serve as an opportunity for observers to ENCOURAGE you and love on you. you are the best sister in the entire universe and again, i am so proud of how you handle yourself each and every day. Love you!

- Chels, here's a favorite Scripture of mine lately...
"Woe to you when all men speak well of you..." (Luke 6:26)We can't please everyone - only God! I pray for the person who wrote that on your wall. You are an amazing girl- and you NEVER have to explain yourself or your intentions to anyone. There's always that other saying (of which I struggle with too.) What people think of you is none of your business. Ouch. The truth hurts doesn't it? The truth is not everyone is going to like us but in that truth we are set FREE when we finally realize He is our only standard of measure! No need to worry your pretty little head over such things, or feel the need to explain. God knows your heart beloved and so do I! Love you girl! xo


- Love you Chelsey and am praying for your heart to be protected by the love of Jesus <3 Psalm 61..He is your refuge. You are an inspiration and encouragement to so many, always remember that!

And SO many more! Being hurt by someones ignorant reckless words is something we ALL face and I hope some of these comments will be and encouragement to you like they were to me! Love you all!

To Him be the Glory,
Chelsey
