Deuteronomy 28:7

The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

This is a promise of victory. Your enemy will be confounded, and utterly destroyed. God will bring it to pass. Do not fear.

PRAYER: Lord, You know what I am facing today. I hand the whole situation over to You. Thank You for fighting my battle. Thank You that You have shielded me with Your precious blood so the enemy cannot touch me. As I endeavor to do what pleases You, I pray that You will cause me to live in victory. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.

So often, the world teaches us that what is evil is good, and what is good is evil. But the Bible says, “Abhor what is evil and cling to what is good.” Romans 12:9

If you abhor something, you are not going to do it. No one has to tell you not to do it and you do not struggle to stay away from it. You naturally avoid it. That is the kind of feeling we must have toward sin.

“Abhor what is evil and hold fast to what is good.” Oh, what precious truth there is in those words. And the sum of all truth and all good, and the triumph over all evil is Jesus Christ. So, hold fast to Christ, and abhor everything that is evil and everything that dishonours Him.

• forced myself to sleep early last night and guess what?? yuuuup succeeded! kinda brainwashed myself lol (but in a kind way, don’t worriii)

• still struggling with my anxious-avoidant attachment style which results to my bf being confused at times and everytime it happens i hate myself 😭 but every single time also he is always there it’s like dear God do I even deserve this guy? but I love him so much i will continue healing for him love conquers all scripture said

• will be having braces this week or next — finally found the perfect dentist that told me “if you trust me, I can make this work” with full passion in her kind gentle eyes that if there was nobody else in that room I’d burst out crying because I lost all hope with my teeth already 😭

Hope is a very very beautiful thing.

over the moon today as I went to the dentist recommended by a friend and found out that my whole teeth situation isn’t hopeless yet. there.is.hope.still

I AM TOTALLY OVERJOYED!!!

later in the day I’ve also attended a conference at church and was INCREDIBLY BLESSED by God’s word 🔥

what sticks me the most is this — there may be people I don’t really like at church but if we are all united in prayer and worship, it wouldn’t really matter because i’m not fighting against flesh but against rulers of darkness. i mean like God didn’t promise an escape from difficult people but He does promises that even these type of people at the end won’t bother me because He equally love all of us despite our flaws so we should just LOVE each other and PATIENTLY put up with each other and eventually we will still find ourselves surrendering to God’s love because God is love

i've developed acid reflux over the past few years went to a gastroenterologist focused on holistic healing who helped me a lot on realizing that meds alone won't heal me and since then i've been researching on gut health. so far, i've found out that our gut microbiome needs about 30 different kinds of plants in a week to thrive and how anxiety plays a great role in how stomach acid is released. applying this knowledge in my life, i'm in a better state now and is more self-controlled when it comes to beverages like coffee and matcha which happens to be two of my biggest triggers. heartbreaking because i'm a big matcha girlie!! there's a good news tho: i'm now better enough to have matcha drinks from time to time. . .tonight also was kinda healing as I've spent quality time with friends in a night market :3 erm there's just something that kinda pissed me off a bit tho -- my father's younger brother who has been showing disrespect since we became neighbors. he's not much of a nuisance now i’m still uncomfortable towards him. God help me. some people and certain drinks, both can be bad for me but I can still control how I react and don't let it control me
