Here are some things I learned last week:
1. Don't promise to blog every day. It doesn't work and if you miss one day you're way more apt to just keep missing days.
2. I love that the Spirit spontaneously leads me to a passages that speak directly to me.
2a. That said, I'm much more comfortable reading the Bible on a plan that gives me something to check off rather than sporadically figuring it out on my own.
3. I need time with the LORD every. single. day.
4. The Enemy is out for my heart, for my soul, for my strength. It's a literal, physical, emotional battle. It's visceral. It's painful. It's full of fear and doubt and a choking feeling around my throat. It makes my head cloudy and thoughts muddled. It's like walking underwater looking up.
4a. The Enemy cannot have me. I BELONG to the LORD.
But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
-Psalm 5:11
