• Loving not Pride

       This year has been interesting as well as exciting in ways. Work remains a challenge. Most of my xanga time is usually at work when things are slow.  At home, I tend to stay rather busy as different things come up and do. I'm not one to spend much time on the phone and when I do, my hands are usually busy doing something. 

  
  

      Yet, at work, I have not had the peace to write or read on xanga. Work can be a spiritual battlefield at times with various factors. Yet, many of you know what I'm talking about. Yet, my work allows me to help people in all sorts of conditions despite not really being able to share it with people. At times, it is just quiet praises. At times, I know any word I write on here can be turned against me. So, I must be careful what I write. The enemy is deceptive and uses many people. Yet, we must love our enemies. It is not a choice but a command of God. If I can have enemies and people can't tell who they are by the way I treat and talk about them, have I accomplished this? This last year my eyes have been opened to who the enemy can use. I don't want to be used by the enemy. Yet, I realize it is amazing how he can twist things into things that are destructive. Yet, how many times do we hear the enemy decieves people? It is true.

  
  

       Pride can be a tool of the enemy. Pride can encompasses so much and appear harmless at times. There is pride that keeps people from asking for help when they need it. That is destructive and so many of us fall victims to it. Yet, Jesus is helping me with that issue as I become more and more accountable to Js. It can actually help me. Plus, she has been here long enough to read me at times to read my body language when I'm not speaking. Oh, better yet, God even lets her know about me. Yet, I can't be surprized when God does the same for me with others.  I did not know the blessing God had waiting for me when mutual friends came to me telling me this girl needed help. How little did I know I was the one really needing the help? In turn, we help each other. Yet, how many sources of help is there. Xanga can give a lot of encouragement reading others and comments.

  
  

       I pray God opens my eyes and ears to what I'm suppose to be up to instead of me being distracted by things that bring me down. Yet, the first few weeks have been active with good things accomplished. I know I must seek God and study in the Bible until it was so much alive to me as it was before. I see God working in another area of a prayer request. I will wait before I discuss more so I actually know more. I am excited in ways. God is working. The enemy has noticed  this last couple of months activities and started to bring up problems. Yet, God is greater than our enemy. God is our refuge. We are commanded to love. Well, I better keep loving and seeking God!
