I hope you know you are doing better than you think you are
Dear Hayden
I started this blog soon after the death of my beautiful 17-year-old son, Hayden, as a way to deal with my grief. I titled it "Dear Hayden" because at first I wrote as if I was writing to him. My use of the word "dear" ended up being twofold: "used as an affectionate or friendly form of address" and "regarded with deep affection; cherished by someone." Many posts are saved quotes, song lyrics, Bible verses, poems, etc. with credit given to the actual authors as much as possible. Enjoy~

Breakthrough
Jeremiah 32:27
God says,
"Nothing is too hard for Me.
Your breakthrough is nearer
than your tired heart can see."
~Whispered Words
The waiting
Resting in the waiting isn't quitting, it's believing God is working even when you can't see it.
Pressure
If diamonds can form under pressure.
What do you think God is trying to do with you?
Pressure is a privilege.
Real
He lets you go into the thing that
should destroy you so you can
come out as proof that it couldn't.
The fire is real. The pain is real.
But so is the One standing in it with you.

Battle
By Trevor Sheets
Christian, your battle against sin and hatred for sin proves that you're in the faith.
If you weren't saved, you wouldn't be fighting (Gal.5:17).
Keep pressing on, and keep clinging to Jesus. He will hold you fast (John 10:28).
-------------------------------
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.
John 10:28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
