Short and Simple

Today’s post is short and simple. I just watched a Joel Osteen ministry episode and it was much needed. The message was simple and the analogy was perfect: In our homes we may decide to set our thermostat to 73 degrees, the temperature in the house however may be 78. We know that although we can’t feel or see the change immediately, the temperature is dropping to meet our need. The same thing works with Christ. Although we can’t always see him working we have to readjust our mental thermostat to know that the change is coming. We have to know (have faith) that He is already working out a great and wonderful temperature change in our lives.
Why is this so wonderful you ask? This month has been mentally tough. I had my first major breakdown with the hubby dealing with our journey. I have been seeking God for guidance to fight off this spirit of defeat that the enemy is trying to offer, but it’s been so tough. After almost a year and a half I think I finally hit that point when you mentally give up and don’t feel you can do anymore. It hit and it hit hard. So, please join me in prayer that the spirit of Christ engulfs me and this deafening agony of defeat be removed. Continue to lift us up as we recharge our faith along our Anderson Adventure.
