This morning I was reminded that we often are called to shake off the enemy’s attempts to steal our joy. He uses quit a few different tactics like fear, pride, paranoia... His list is long. However, when you recognize His schemes and know God’s truth, you can move forward in faith. For me the Word of God is life. The Word along with the Holy Spirit are the sources for discerning between my own hang ups or the enemy’s schemes and the truth God has put before me.
Lean into the Word and listen for the Spirit. If we don’t, we will be dragged into enemy territory.
I love front porches. A front porch on a house says, "Come on up, sit in my shade and let's talk." So consider this blog a front porch. Join me for talks, thoughts, friendship.

Jesus Is Enough
Jesus is enough.
There are moments and seasons in life when words cannot give meaning to all that goes on deep within the soul. When those seasons arise, Jesus is enough. When your heart feels like it will break in two, Jesus is enough. When your days fill up with stress, Jesus is enough. When you know that getting out of bed in the morning will start another day of more of the same, Jesus is enough. When life as you know it has just been turned upside down and sideways, Jesus is enough. When all you can do is look into the eyes of our Lord, then look deeply. There you will find comfort, understanding and the power of God to heal and transform you in your real life present moment.
