Where I'm Needed

I have only but a couple of minutes to post just long enough to say that I will be taking a break from blogging for a couple or a few weeks, at least until school is out. As can be expected when a new saint has given their heart to God, adversity will follow. The enemy isn't happy and makes mockery of those whose faith is so brand new, attempting to plant doubt. I intend to be right now where I must, defending my daughter and encouraging her in her new walk. I BELIEVE what she has done is real - her fruit is so obvious. As is the fact that the enemy seeks to undermine her confidence. This time is CRITICAL in the life of my daughter. And I will REFUSE to account her shyness for failure (as someone has implied). Her heart will be so strong for God ONE DAY. All growth starts somewhere, and it's not at the end, I can assure you from ongoing experience. So there's my peace (yes, peace - not piece). I will look forward to catching later, but for now I want to be where I am needed. Have a great May!!!

(And a very special "Thank You" to Krista at New Beginnings , Bev at Blessed Beyond Measure, and Toni at In The Midst Of This Season for tagging me for the "Seven Things About Me Meme." You made me feel special by thinking of me. :) Due to current circumstances, I'll just refer you to my recent "100 Things About Me for my 100th post." Will that count?)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. I John 4:4

WOnderful! I have been living under a rock the last few weeks and just read about your daughter and just read about the "Thinker Award" thanks for thinking my post are "thinking" worthy. Sometimes that just seems so doubtful. Enjoy the last few weeks of school and your daughters new walk in Christ. I will pray protection over her and you and the rest of the familY!

Praying for Faith and for "faith" for Faith! The enemy does not win - it says so in the Book! I'm so thankful you are devoting this "extra" time to working with her and your family even though I know you'll be missed in the blog world by MANY. I love you dearly and hope to see you real soon. Mom

:( Mom, I'm experimenting with the happy faces. Actually a sad one to see if it works.
