A Battle Won

Hi...it's Dana! It has sure been awhile and I have lots to say!! :D

This weekend was such a battle. I felt like God and Satan were warring over my soul. I felt so miserable and tired of fighting the Devil that this morning I just came to God and was desperate. I opened my Bible and God showed me the perfect verse that changed my morning.

Ps. 55:16-18,22,23b "But I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning, and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. He ransoms me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me... Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall... But as for me I trust in you."

I love how God knew exactly what I needed to hear...before I even asked or began to look for a verse.

but then, as we know, the Devil don;t wanna lose the fight, so he started up again...convinced me to have a bad attitude. For me, when I get a bad attitude, it ruins me. I get in such a rut, that I feel guilty getting out of it, and it takes a ton of work to get me out of it, so I, being in a bad mood, know I need to rejoice or something, don't because I don't feel like fighting. But you know what Christ came in today and took me out of my bad attitude. I think I cried 5 or 6 times today. It has been a battle, but my God always causes me to triumph in His Name.
God is so amazing.

My friend Jake got saved last week at church and he has been saved by the blood of my Lord Jesus. It has been a pleasure to experience the change that happens to a person. IT IS So EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Polar coordinates are coool.

Tips for the week:
1: Love is only love when it's toward someone who is unreachable or someone you think doesn't deserve it.
2: Philippians 2:3-5, 4:4-9
3: Don't be afraid to talk to waitresses or waiters about Jesus or leave notes on the table
4: Use your gifts and talents outside the church
5: Show love to your family
6: Pray for others because the enemy is ALWAYS doing his job.(to try to steal your blessings/joy/the best God has for you/your salvation, to kill you(spiritually), to destroy you)

Have a wonderful week,
Dana
