Waking up on the wrong side of the bed is just a nicer way of saying "the devil is trying to have a strong hold on me today." Well that is how I have felt for 6 days now!! A friend of mine told me that once you commit fully to God and you start making outward signs that you are totally in, on fire, and just fanatical about God, I was going to get attacked hard! Man, apparently I should have really listened to that! I knew that the Devil was going to find me more desirable now but I didn't think he would start knawing already! I mean geez pour some A1 on me first!

I woke up Friday morning with a pep in my step, raring to go and ready for whatever God threw my way, but as the devil tends to do, he threw a stick right under my rollerblade which started a prepetual fall into the middle of the swampy waters of the river! The muddy waters continued on into the night and progressivley followed into the next day! I tried not to let it get my spirits down and flittered on as if I was just fine,  never wanting people to think that I was being held captive.  I want people to see the way that I feel inside and not allow it to look like the devil is taking over!  However, Saturday came and went and I still had a bad taste in my mouth! We tried resolution but there was just no reconciliation! It is like one of those moments in a movie where you see the devil on the right and the angel on the left!  Sunday showed up earlier than planned and this was my day for the glory of God to shine like never before, the day my lifegroup started and yet there was yellow water in my wheaties!! The day just went from bad to worse leaving my with questions! So it was time for quiet time, so tucked in my bed I closed my eyes and said, "Lord today is your day, you have brought me from the rummage and have made me a new creation in you. Lord, help me to see you daily and remember where I have been and the work we had to do together to get me here! There was blood, sweat, and plenty of tears shed for this transformation and nothing is going to stand in my way of letting you shine through me." And at that moment I was off!  

Jesus reigns!! God is full of AMAZING GRACE! Eight ladies showed up to The Deux Krew meeting!! Our very first one, and all of these ladies came together for an ordained purpose! I took a few hours and just spent time in the word, knowing how amazing our Lord God is and after a long text of apology, i closed my eyes for some me time! 

The Devil shows up at the time when he knows he can sneak in and steal you! However God is with you always! Even when it doesn't feel like it, if you give your mind, body, heart, and should to our Lord Jesus Christ, he will carry you! Know that even on those days where you just don't feel like you can make it any further God has your back!! He gives you more than you can handle so that you will lean on him through the rough patches!! 

Jesus you are Lord, as I wake up every morning keep a watchful eye on me, guide me through the day and carry me through the muddy waters! Lord  you have brought me through this far, whatever your will is I am willing to do, you are an amazing Lord and I thank you for my opportunity to wake up every morning!
