This Sunday, I am reflecting on just a sliver of the manifest evil that has swept this world. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Ephesians 6:12 You must understand that there is a war of good and evil happening all around you in the spirit realm — and that this manifests in our material plane through demonic deception, possession, and direction. Christians, we must pray for God to give us His grace of discernment and protection. And for the Lost to come to the Truth. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Matthew 24:12-13 Take heart. Endure and be saved. ❤️

We don’t worry too much about what the future will bring, and we don’t burden ourselves with a thousand fears. We have faith and trust in each other and in fate, and we’re confident that we’ll be able to get through even serious financial hardship. And if someone asks me what will become of my children someday, I simply answer: “I don’t know. We couldn’t give them more than a beloved home, good health, and happy parents. But that’s enough, and with that, I can confidently leave them to their fate.” And when other people ask me why I take on new worries and new responsibilities with every new child, I answer: “I don’t want to have an easy life. I don’t want to live without a care. Someday I want to look back on a long period of my life that truly belonged to me in my heart, and to know that I managed to give it great and worthwhile meaning.”

Can’t believe I’ve been agreeing with Matt Walsh so much lately 😆

Friendly reminder for anyone struggling with a difficult child!

My friend is dealing with placenta previa and keeps ending up in the hospital from the bleeding. Please pray that she can go home soon and that the condition ultimately resolves on its own before labor. Thank you, and God bless. 💕

Send me to the sea… but not one where it’s hot and sunny. If I’m not getting blasted by cold wind, I don’t want it. Be gone, summer!
