Strange things- found this old post- I never posted it :)
This is so weird! I subscribe to a post on Alpha Omega Publishing, (we used their homeschool curriculum for a couple years) and I so enjoy the encouraging posts that are sent out. So this morning I am reading yesterdays post again for the 2nd time and I decide to go in and read posts/replies that readers have put on there. Check this out- I found my own post that I had put on there almost 3 years to the exact date! I posted it on 3/22/11 and today is 3/23/14. That is just weird- 1. that I went in and read old posts/replies by others, and 2. that I found a post that I put in there 3 years ago. I didnt even remember posting it until I started reading it! That is just crazy. It was also a reminder to me of where I was then and how the Lord has graciously delivered us and how much the children have learned since then. The posts that others put were sooooooooo encouraging and helped me/everyone to see that we were not alone in our struggles. You see the enemy of our souls tries to take us down, constantly, so we must wear the full armor of God to thwart the fiery darts of the enemy. It's when we let our guard down or get too busy with life that bad thoughts, bad decisions, bad outcomes arrive. We must keep up our guard and here is why-
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 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. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
