Determined

Do you ever talk to the devil?

I don't make it a practice, but I did the other night going home. You see, I'm realizing that the devil really is like a roaring lion seeking to devour me. So I spoke out loud. I don't recall exactly what I said but something like, "You will not win this battle. You will not deceive me or cause me to be distracted. I will not allow you to let this destroy me. I will not become bitter. I will not lose my joy!"

With tears trickling down my face, I made another step in the right direction.

I am determined to overcome. Determined.

Alanna, I love your openness! And it is so true and sometimes I think we need to talk back more to the devil than what we do. We need to quit allowing him to steal our joy.
Love ya, Aunt Brenda
