You have influence

I’ve heard it said before that where the enemy (the devil) attempts to steal from you could actually be the very place you have the most influence.

John 10:10 The Passion Translation (TPT)

10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter,[a] and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!

When I look back and reflect on where he’s come in like a thief to destroy my life, I can see more clearly why.

He hates my heart for wanting to serve God, to honor my husband, and raise children up to know their identity in Him.

But he’s met his match with me. And with you too, I pray.

For every single area he’s attacked, the Lord has turned around and blessed because that’s who our Good Shepherd is.

God may allow us to go through hard seasons, but they will always bring us to something better because that is who He is.

I’m a blessed wife to the hardest working man I know, mother to five sweet young men, step-mom to two amazing young girls, and mother-in-luv to three soon-to-be daughters, and a farm mama to too many to count.

If you’ve lost something or someone you love… Get back up and wait for the good thats coming. It may be just around the corner.
