I need thee every hour. Not only has this become one of my favorite songs it has begun to weave itself a place in my heart.
A relationship with Christ isn't one that is just a couple hours a day, where u punch a time clock in and out. Christ desires to be in our every hour, every minute. If I have learned one important lesson this far on the race it would be the importance of keeping Christ close to me, and the Holy Spirit in my heart. My flesh is strong, sin is real, and the devil is relentless. The devil doesn't give up on us when we declare our lives for The Lord.. On the contrary, he pursues harder. The devil has a way of digging up those things that can trigger us; may it be an addiction, gossip, or whatever. I can say he has attempted to wage war in my heart since being here… Playing into my insecurities. The devil has told me I'm not good enough, not strong enough, and useless.
I have been reading my bible, daily spending time with God. I have had good talks with fellow squad mates about how God is working in their lives. I have noticed on the days where The Lord is talked about, praised, and given credit for our many blessings given to us during prayer my heart is more content.
God is stronger than anything the devil can throw at me BUT I have to allow The Lord to be there with me. In the thick of my struggles I must open it up, stop being stubborn and self reliant and hand it to The Lord and seek Him.
To all my followers and supporters again thank you for everything I love you all!
