The Duke Family

This morning, before I was even fully awake, I heard a whisper saying, "nothing is too heavy for me, take the weight off your shoulders and let me carry it". I got right out of bed, fixed my coffee, and began my quiet time. Determined today would be a good day.
Oh, how quickly that devil can sneak up on us when we least expect it. I heard the Lord's voice so clearly yet the devil began a war with me and I didn't even realize it. It's sad how often this happens. I am just thankful for being able to realize it and if my eyes are clouded, I am thankful the Lord sends people in to point it out for me (you know who you are!)
I have a love hate relationship with facebook. I have seen on facebook a few times over the past few days a story about a premature baby born who was "miraculously" brought back to life after being pronounced dead for 2 hours. The ironic thing is, a few of my friends never saw the post. That's how the devil works. He makes sure you see things that will upset you. He wants to kick you while you're down. I rarely look at the newsfeed on facebook but over the past few days, each time I did, that post was on one of my "friends" newsfeed. The devil knows what he's doing and unfortunately, way too often, we don't realize his deceit.
After an uplifting voicemail a few bbm's and messages, I was given a little jolt. THIS can't make this beautiful day go bad! I have 3 handsome little men staring at me waiting to learn something new today. I have 1 hottie of a husband sitting at work, working his bootie off so I can be here with these boys. I have family and friends who love me and pray for me daily. And best of all, I have a risen Savior who reminds me of His promises daily.
