I have to say, that things have been going well. God has been moving, and things have been good! Things have changed a bit and there has been different things that we all have to get used to again. For example I am not working in the mornings anymore, and that is a change, and the kids have more expected of them and more during the day that is expected for school work as well. I get to concentrate on schooling, and the motherly, wifely and household chores more. Which I have to say is nice, because working and then doing all that or trying to do all that wasn't easy! Church is going really well, and we had a great winter youth retreat and God moved on the hearts of the youth. We went to another church and my husband preached there and God moved and there was a great time at the altar as well! God is doing great things! When we put our focus on HIM and not on the worldly things around us God moves!!!
While all this good stuff is going on Satan doesn't like it. We went from a not so great place to a place where God wants us, and where God is making us thrive! It isn't our doing, but it is because we placed our focus on Him, the things that He has for us, and we were obedient in the things that He told us! But while this good is going on, I know that the enemy isn't happy that we are in a great place. He wants to bring us back down. It is about keeping that focus on God right now. The enemy isn't happy and wants us down and will try and throw us back off track but if we keep focused on God the enemy wont stand a chance! I have been feeling the attacks lately, and the things that satan tries to bring up to get my focus off of God! But I choose to ignore those things that He is trying to bring up, and I choose to keep focused on God through it all! I want my life to be a life of faith and standing strong for God! Yes things happened in the past but God has brought us out of that past and into the bright future that HE has for us! We will walk in that!
I will end with some verses! I love to end in scripture! I hope they are food to your soul!! And life to your body!

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
