Today is the first day of Lent! It has been a while since I have given something up for Lent so this year I decided that I would give up Facebook (the hope is permanently)! Maybe in the future I will create a new account but for now, the Lord is leading me in a different direction!
Today I am going to start reading (for the 4th time), the power of a praying wife! I will be spending the next 30 days out of 40 during Lent, praying for my husband in specific areas! I have found this book to be very helpful and very rewarding! I have seen mighty changes in not only myself but my husband as well each time I read it! I am looking forward to seeing what God does with this time and my marriage!
Life continues to have its ups and downs and I continue to battle the enemy every single day with his lies. I know that ultimately Christ has won the war but satan will continue to try and win me over to his side every single moment of every single day! I am learning to take my thoughts captive, rebuke satan and focus on the positive instead of the negative!
Some days are better than others but I won't give up! I am a fierce fighter and I don't stand down when I want something bad enough! I fight for it!
So starting today and every day (and everyday that I have in the past).....I am gonna fight for my life, fight for my husband, fight for my marriage and fight for my kids! I will take up the Armour of God and fight the enemy with God by my side!
I hope that each of you will give up something or perhaps start something during this season of Lent! My husband decided that instead of giving up something he was going to do something every day.....exercise (we will see how well that works)! I need to get back into that as well! But right now my focus is on other things.
These are going to my focal points the next 40 days:
1. my relationship with Christ
2. my relationship with my husband
3. my relationship with my children
In that order, Christ first, husband second, children last! I am looking forward to seeing what changes happen over the next several weeks!
Spring is almost here and that means, sunshine and warmer weather! I am ready to leave the cold of winter behind and watch the newness of the season appear! new life in the trees, flowers and grass! Along with that, I am looking forward to a newness in my life and those around me!
I will try and blog more as well! I really want to get back into this! I have missed my blog!
So anyway....that is all I have for now! Until next time....God speed!
