I can do all things......

I can do all things through CHRIST

which strengthens me.

Phillipians 4:13

Well, the weekend is upon us and I am feeling that old snake slithering around! ( no pun inteneded I promises......lol) He is so evil and sly. He knows my dark spots and my weaknesses. He knows how to sling thoughts from no where that seem to envelope me and try to take me back to horrible places, bad memories and ugliness! Those fiery darts seem to definitely pick up when "company" comes.... and I guess that is normal.... if any of "THIS" is normal....

BUT

I can do all things through Christ which strenghtens me!

I can be kind..

I can be compassionate...

I can be understanding....

I can be hospitable.......

I can be loving...... ( whew, that is a hard one...)

I can be wise......

I can be dilegent.......

I can be tenderhearted.............

I can even see the silver lining...........................

I can NOT do it alone.......I can not do it without prayer.............I can not do it without KNOWING that it is Christ who gets me through each minute, each hour and each day! HE is my strength!

Lord help me to defend myself against those fiery darts that Satan tries so hard to use in his favor. Let me live each moment this weekend knowing that YOU are in control. Help me to remember that you hold all the pieces to the puzzle of my life and you know exactly when and how it needs to be placed together! Let me be a "manifold" of Your love that can only come from You! and may the praise the honor and the glory be YOURS!
