The War is on

Oh my gosh, I knew this year was going to be a hard year.... But I just didn’t know how hard it would end up being.
You see, this semester has been one long war with many battles around every corner. **We dare ask God to bring us to new levels and to make us stronger, and then expect it to be an easy ride.**
The recent battles I have been fighting have been the week of fasting and praying for Discovery Days which we held here this past weekend, and then D Days its self and then just before D Days happened my friend emails me… and ya my friend isn’t doing to good in their spiritual walk with God. It hurt so bad to read that email, I wanted to be able to send this super great email that would encourage and help my friend back on the pathway with God... but nothing, I had nothing to say. All I could do was go to my knees and pray and pray... and I’m still praying. And then I find out my cousin is in the hospital waiting for a MRI. I feel like I am just in the middle of one battle, when I get a message to come fright another battle when I am done with the current one.
I need rest and people praying over me after I’ve gone through a battle. It is only by Gods grace and mercy that I am being able to keep on keeping on fighting.
Oh gosh I can’t help but laugh. This year’s theme couldn’t have been any better or truer.
PERSEVERANCE
Keep walking… keep running… keep fighting…
This is what we have all been doing this year.

As for these battles I am fighting, I will keep fighting them, battling in the spiritual realm with all that God has given me. I will not lose hope, I will not lose ground, I will not give up. I will keep keeping on.
