These past few weeks have been emotionally, physically and spiritually draining. Pastor and I have dealt with significant loss through death and sickness and have been to four states in 3 days in various capacities. It made me ask myself if this is my actual calling and if Im actually able to bear the infirmities of the weak that I know God called me to do. I had to pray earnestly and remember the process of renewing myself and my mind. Satan was diligently attacking my mind, but as I was praying I was led to several scriptures meant just for me in this time. You see when we start the process of renewing our minds, its OK when we mess up. What Id done is I had let the devil come into my thoughts. But I thank God that He knows that Im not perfect and Hes always there to help me get back on track. Whats unfortunate is that the devil also knows Im not perfect, and he does his best to remind me every step of the way. Just a few weeks ago I was going along, serving God, doing well, stepping out in faith and then all of a sudden, without there being any justification for it, I had a day and then a week when I had an attack on my mind. Satan told me that I wasnt cut out to be a First Lady, that I couldnt dare try to help all these people, that I was going to go bankrupt because of all the giving I was doing, that Im a failure, that Im not good enough, that God doesnt love me, the list goes on and on. Thankfully, Gods Word told me just what to do in a situation like this. Second Corinthians 10:5 tells us to take every thought captive and into obedience to God. So when the devil tries to lie to you as he did to me, do what I had to do. Simply go to the Word and find the truth that refutes that lie. There are many of you reading this today who are doubting yourself, doubting your gifts, doubting what God has called you to do. When those doubts come your way, dont get discouraged. Bring them in line with Gods Word. Dont let the lies and doubts that the enemy sends your way get you off track. Instead, believe what His Word says and take those thoughts captive! Trust me it works every time! Be blessed and bless somebody else today. #Faithoverfear
