it's on, creep

I wish I could literally see what's going on in the spiritual realm...because I sure feel it. It's as if all of hell has broken loose...


Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

DISREGARD

If you were unfortunate enough to read the two posts written by my brother without my knowledge....just disregard them. I have deleted them...
I hope he enjoyed his two hours of fame without my knowledge because his life is officially over. That's all.

on regrets

Last night I was thrown the "regret" question by one of my girls:
Do you ever regret? How do you go on from mistakes? Do you ever feel like you have wasted time?

You know the bit.

I had to think for a couple seconds but my answer then, and definitely now that I've thought about it is, No.

No regrets.

Every season of life is crammed with learning and love and experiences. It teaches. I glean.
I struggle. I hurt. I try to get God to give out answers ahead of time. I bang my head against the wall. I don't understand a lot of the time. I mess up all the time. And I always fall into the amazing love and mercy of my INCREDIBLE God.

But no regrets.

Take away segments of my life and mistakes...and take you take away the lessons I have learned.

Lessons like patience. Courage. The incredible mercy of God. The strength you find in Him as you hurt.

Everything is worth something--even if you know NOT to do it again.

So no regrets. Just appreciate the past and milk today for all its worth.

God is always at work. Always.
