Today is the last full day of our fast and I really want to thank each and every one of you for doing this with me. I know that it wasn’t easy. There were days when I felt like I got this and other days I felt like I failed miserably. The key is to keep going though. The devil wants to discourage us and he will use any tatic to do so. Last week Thursday, I had a rough day at work. So rough that I was on the brink of tears several times and I had to get a drink after work. I was upset and so hurt and bothered because I thought I was doing everything right at work; I come in, I speak when I’m spoken to, I do what I’m told, I keep to myself and I mind my business. I was called into a meeting and told I was being antisocial and isolating myself. I was even told I can no longer use my headphones(which I did to listen to my sermons), or read my book at work. Here I was thinking I was being respectful and staying out of trouble and yet I was still being reprimanded. It really upset my spirt for a little while. However once the dust settled, I had to laugh. I said out loud, nice try Satan, but you’re going to have to come harder than that. Don’t you know by now that I’m not easily broken? You see ladies, I had to remind myself that we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities. Make no mistake, the devil knows who I am, who you are, who we are. Whenever you decide to do the right thing and live for God, he will come at you from all angles. We must not get discouraged. Friday morning I came into work, with a smile on my face and I was praising God even more. I had to let the devil know that he’s not going to steal my joy, and that my God is bigger than any problem he can throw at me. The old me would’ve been shaken, I would’ve been distraught, I would’ve crawl into my imaginary turtle shell and become even more isolated. But I know WHO I am, and WHOSE I am. And I will not let anyone try to tell me different. I walk different, I talk different, I act different because I AM different. Remember that “he that begun a good work in you, will bring it to completion”. Happy Thursday Dolls💋
