Aw, Allie… I’m so glad you felt fraddled for! (And I felt fraddled for by your use of the word!) It feels good to know we’re not along, doesn’t it!? May we spur one another on toward love and good deeds (to ourselves even)! :) Love ya, Girl!

Michelle, I felt so fraddled when I read this!! I’m glad that I’m not the only one who has a meanie in my head always tearing me down. I’ve always thought my meanie helped me be better, but God has recently been revealing to me that I need to start fighting her instead of trying to please her and be her friend. Thanks for giving me some tips to shut her down.

Oh no, Girl! You tell that voice to quiet up… you tell it your writing is “good enough!” Now, I’ll tell you that your writing is GREAT! I love your blog and am so glad to be blog buddies with you! I’m linking you to my Some Favorites section asap! :)

And thank you for the compliment, sweet Elisabeth!

Dear Some Girl,
I love this post, and I am reading it while listening to the Love Actually soundtrack “God only knows what I’d be without you”, how fitting. I have had more peace in the past five days, I think my soul is finally at rest. I was enjoying a drive to Fort Worth to pick up a friend today and was so happy. As soon as I got home the mean voice popped up. Today, its claim was that my writing is not as tangible as yours…haha…and that’s when I told it to shut up!!

And in that attack was a compliment for you because I so admire the way you communicate with people and you do it in such a kind, caring, welcoming way. The voice didn’t win today, and I loved this post!

Thanks for the sweet words, my friend! x0x0

I love the way you put it… it’s the destroyer… seeking to destroy our lives, our minds, our souls. Great description!

Let’s spur one another on toward love and good deeds and lets extend that love and good deeds to ourselves!

Thanks again for the encouragement!!!

This came in e-mail from my girlfriend, Michelle… the one who gave the great suggestion of speaking to ourselves as God would speak to us… More great insight! Thanks, OM!

“Hey, I saw this last night (on the wall in the bathroom of the yoga studio, of all places) and it made me think of you. Well, of fraddle. Did you know there’s a verse about fraddle in the bible? :) Of course you did!

Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:18

Then, when I was looking it up online this morning, I found this version, from The Message, that speaks to the inner voice problem:

When We Practice Real Love

1 John3:18-20 My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.

Have a great day!”

Girl…this is your best blog yet!!! So many of us women have this mean inner voice and let it control us. You’re right, it isn’t our creator speaking these things to us, it’s the destroyer, who wants to make us less content with ourselves and the things we own. Keep up the blogging Girl…your words will have us healed in no time and we’ll be able to help other women in our circles live their lives for Christ too!!! To Him be the Glory!
