Recharging

Day 6:


Today was a recharge day. I love these days. No expectations, nothing really going on and if I want to, can lay in my bed all day. I had a long night. I had the night shift at my house, watching the old people at night from 8pm to 8am. If you don't know already, my mom owns and runs an adult foster care home. It's always an adventure around here. I don't sleep very well when I watch the house and it was especially quiet last night. I had to go down and investigate. Around 3am I walked downstairs to find Margie sitting in a chair in the living room, I brought her back to her bed and then tucked her in under the covers. She was so grateful. I love her nature. She also has a great love for God. I know that even when she is upset I can always talk to her about how God is strong and mighty in every situation. Plus she is the one that taught me that. :)


I deemed today a recharge day. I usually need it after a long week of studying. God is so grateful! He gave me the opportunity to have a day of rest and recharge, which is important for introverts. I also was able to catch up on the sleep I missed from last night. God always surprises me. He is so good to us. Always remember that.


Today I also read Numbers 12 and Luke 4. I think it is really cool that God speaks in both passages. 


I must praise God for already these amazing 6 days. I will tell you why. First I have felt plagued for a long time with spiritual warfare and Satan playing with my thoughts and sending me not very nice images. Like the devil would play nice anyways. It has been so nice being warfare free. God is so good. With the exception of a couple times during the week and last night, I haven't felt the temptation or presence of the spiritual warfare. If you have never experienced spiritual warfare, it's hard to explain, but it leaves you powerless. I just need to remember that when I am weak, God is strong, and made perfect in my weakness.


Lord,
I praise you for today. It was amazing. You always know what I need, such as a day of rest and an opportunity to recharge my energy. I enjoyed reading your word and learning about your faithfulness and your son, Jesus. I praise you that throughout the last 6 days of making my life more comfortable. You have shown me through trusting you, that all things are provided and taken care of, including spiritual warfare. I am so gracious for you coming into my life and healing my broken spirit. I pray that whomever reads this, overcomes with encouragement and understanding of your Spirit. I pray all these things in your name.


Amen.
