I've never simply wrote a note to CJ before writing but tonight I must. This is a textbook case that I need her to know how to handle.
NOTE TO CJ: Every day is a day of thanksgiving, you should know and understand that. What you must also understand is that in themidst of your happiness the devil is busy tryigng to steal your joy. On some days, like today for your Daddy the Devil will use you as a punching bag and you will feel every blow. You will hurt, you will feel faint, you might fall, and for a moment be dazed. However you have to bounce bag and endure the beating like a woman. You have to stay in communication with God to have the stamina to fight back. Do not drop your hands, fight!
Today was that kind of day for your Daddy. The harder he fought the more creative the Devil became with his combination shots. To top it off he was ducking and weaving everything I tried to throw at him. Nevertheless God brought me through and I am giving him the praise and moving on.
I simply wanted to share that with you on today. You may get battered, a black eye, or be out of breath at times but you must keep fighting in the name of Jesus! Always remember that prayer changes things, people, and situations.
