Day 2 - It's War...

With my post yesterday I have realized something.

I have a lot to be thankful for...

and to be joyful about.

I have let things in this world steal my joy. I have had enough of that.

No more letting people make me feel bad about myself...

No more stressing over what is unimportant...

No more caving into what society has to say...

No more letting my thoughts and fears take over my life...

No more...of Satan letting himself in, and stealing my joy.

That. Is. Over. The battle I have considered myself to be in was not a fault of others. Circumstances. Coincidences. Luck. It was Satan..and I'm doing my best to break free.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6:23)"

I have a lot to be joyful about.

I work at the most beautiful place on earth with the best people...

I have the cutest pets...ever

and this one came later :)

My friends have beautiful kids that I adore (and they like me back)

I have some pretty great friends if I dont say so myself..

and this guy is great too..really the best ever..(I dont have space to include everyone so I still love you)

and the typical Will and Rachel pic..

this guy is my rock..

I have a pretty decent family (we all have THOSE people)

Just give me some time...i'll get back to joy status of 100%.

It just takes time.

The beauty of it all is that there is a light into the darkness that I feel like we all experience, we just have to follow it.

Later...
