Vlog: Giving Thanks During a Spiritual Attack

Today I publically posted another archived Patreon video. I recorded this about 6 months ago when I was smack in the middle of one of the worst periods of my life. A day or two after I made this, my daughter was hospitalized for the second time in 6 weeks.

I really debated about whether or not to make this video public. This was very personal for me, and I honestly didn’t want to relive it.

But…I decided to go ahead and do it for one reason – to encourage people. Even when you’re going through some really terrible stuff, if you’ve got Jesus, there will be an unexplainable peace and strength that can come from nowhere but Him.

If you’re going through a crisis, trust in Him. Believe that He is with you, because He is. Instead of saying, “You’ve got this,” I’m going to say, “He’s got this.” Lay it at His feet. You are blessed.

I can’t believe it’s July 4th weekend already. It seems like only yesterday I was thanking my lucky stars that winter was over!

I’m so excited right now because I just came back from shopping for our school supplies. 🙂 The only thing we need are the copy paper and ink we ordered off of eBay. Once those come in, we’re ready to go!

On with the links…

The Spiritual Warfare Answer Book by Dr. David Jeremiah

If there is one area we Christians have not given enough time and attention to, it is that of the unseen realm. Spiritual warfare may seem like the stuff of Christian fiction novels to many of us, but Dr. David Jeremiah clearly demonstrates in The Spiritual Warfare Answer Book  that not only is this aspect of our faith vitally important, but it is likely one of the most important responsibilities we as believers are held to today.

Dr. Jeremiah does a phenomenal job of addressing subjects that many followers of Christ tend to ignore, including the reality of demons, the true nature of the nephilim of Genesis 6, and the fact that we are not in a battle with other people, but with dark forces from the spiritual realm.

The longer this break continues, the antsier and antsier I get to start school again. I am so excited to see what this new year will bring. I have to chuckle at this point-of-view because while most parents can’t wait to send their kids back to school, I can’t wait to do school with them. Homeschooling is amazing.
