Today I went to work with my mom. We were going to put music on the new DELL DJ I got for my birthday, but I ended up forgetting the USB cord to connect it to the computer. Darn! I just realized that when I found out I left it, I started calling myself words like 'dumb' and 'stupid'. Now that I think about it, I realize that I gave the devil a foothold. He knew how angry I would be at myself and as soon as I was, I let my negative thoughts overflow me. It is so hard to remember that even those simple little words can make the devil smile. We have to be careful not to let him get footholds in even the smallest part of our lives, because if we do, they begin to grow. Then he begins to find out new ways to catch us. Just like a hole in a sweater...if you keep picking at it, it will grow bigger. That is what the devil wants. He wants us to continue picking at ourselves until he gains control. Like it says in Ephesians 6:10-11: Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil."

Well,
This is my new blog. I look forward to being able to share with the world my love for Christ and my walk with Him. I hope to be a light in a world of darkness, and I can't wait to see what He has in store for me. I hope this blog brings you joy in reading it, and I hope that God will bless you as you continue in your own walks. Thank you for reading!
