Death by Association

"Be on your guard against men" (Matthew 10:17) because "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14). Oh how the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy (John 10:10). He doesn't play. He is on a mission and it is to destroy us ~ our joy, victories, right to overcome in Christ. We have to be on our guard. The body of Christ has a right to live victorious and to speak life over death. Sometimes we live in defeat or find ourselves in pits because of people we surround ourselves with*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Where we end up in life could be because of who we choose to be around. Some of us may miss Heaven just because of association."


Lord, we praise You. We praise You for who You are and because of the power You pass on to us until we join You in Heaven. Thank you that we do not have to walk this life without the power to overcome~You give us a right to live victorious, and I pray that we choose to be victorious and free from the bondage of sin. Lord, we do not want to mess around anymore. We do not want to flirt with things you clearly have nothing to do with. We want all of You. Trusting You, resting in You because we know it is going to be worth it. You are worth it.

 Gonna Be Worth It

Memories for the Journey

With our manicured nails raised in the air, mama and I would listen to this song when we would take our morning walks at Walloon Lake ~ praising God and talking about how much we adore Him...the journey He has brought our family on. We were in such awe of His faithfulness that we paid little mind to cars driving by or to the people walking beside us (I can only imagine what they thought). You see, in our minds, it was just us and God. Two people, yes, but with one heartbeat and it was beating towards Heaven. Those conversations only prepared me for the pain of today. I may not "get God" but I KNOW my God. He is faithful.
