Friday Thoughts

Let me just say that this week has been a little crazy!!  And, today as it comes to an end I’m having some thoughts.  

Satan is real, and working against us everyday.  Yes, I can say I had a few days this week when I felt like I was face to face with him.  

God is bigger and we have victory through Jesus!!  Amen and amen!!  I won each time 🙂

Don’t sweat the small stuff.  The small stuff is what will get you hung up in a rut, e.v.e.r.y.t.i.m.e.

You cannot make everyone happy.  No matter how hard you try.  It’s just not possible.  For fellow people pleasers like myself.  This truth is really difficult to take.  But I dare you to grab on and hold on tight and see what freedom and peace you receive.  The One you should aim to please is The Master.

My kids are getting older right before my eyes.  They are able to do things that they couldn’t do before.  They are so much more independent then they used to be.  They just don’t need me as much.  I really thought I would welcome this, but as they pull away more I find myself running after them saying, “wait, let me…”

Time moves so quickly and I don’t want to waste an ounce of it by 

• fighting a fight that has already been won (you know against that satan guy).
• worrying about the little things (God is into the details and He will take care of it).
• trying to please everyone (just not possible people, I speak truth and you know it).
• making a mental recording of every inch of my children (I want to hold onto this time and these memories forever).
