Today is a New Day

      Most that know me know that prior to June I had lost about 30lbs by working out at the gym and running. My life changed...like they do...and I was unable to work out and thus gained it all back. I started back to the gym in January thanks to a gift from my daddy. I weighed today. I have went from 188 to 185.5! YAY! I use My Fitness Pal to keep up with calorie in take and calories burned and etc.
I'm "Back Alive" lol (for those of you who remember the hair product;)

      Depression can creep up on you like a beast...well...I reckon it is one. Nasty thing...stealing joy and killing folk. Since June, that ol devil has tried many times to get me...well I guess you could say all my life...and really more since we began in ministry...but way more since June. Get my drift? Many tears and many battles...but battles won. I may get weak and weary along the way, but I will always get back up...I have victory. 

      Spiritual battles are present in every day life. Sometimes the battle gets more intense and other times it seems to be quite calm. What is so cool is how God takes these intense battles...the battles in which we've been trampled upon and wounded ....He heals those wounds and picks us up...He carries us through. Oh how He loves us. Like I said in the previous paragraph, I've been battling-actually I guess you could say it this way-I've been transforming. When the moments arrive--->those times you think..."this is it"or " "I can't do this anymore"..something happens in our souls. God is molding and transforming...He knows so much more :) He takes that situation or terrible feeling and transforms it and renews ....confirms....loves...the battle has already been won. I have been renewed and am feeling just WOWed at God. He always does that..:)

     Since childhood , ya see, I've never really "fit in" anywhere...well at least not in this world. HAHA!  You know what. I'm okay with that;) I was being molded and prepared for such a time as this. I may never "fit in" or be accepted by everybody. It's okay with me now. I know God accepts and loves me. 

     I admit. I still may have weak and insecure moments.I'm not perfect.I will never stay down...mm mm nope. 

   I'm so grateful that God healed my family. I love my husband more now than ever. He is a wonderful and handsome:) man. I am honored that God chose to put us together. I'm mean he seriously loves me. I know, because he got a kitten for me. hahaha! Meet Jag:)

     Be prepared in your heart. Your faith will be challenged. Remember to always continue to love as Jesus did on this earth. Swiftly forgive. Release Strongholds.

     I received a card with some declarations on it from Kaylor Ministries. I put it on my bathroom mirror. The first one says: "Today is a new day". So yeah! Declare that over your life every morning.

Psalms 48:14

For this God is our God forever and ever: He will be our guide even unto death.
