Quietly Stubborn

Today I woke in a mood I don't wake up in very often.  I know this state of mind very well.  Despite the fact it only comes about every few months. 

I am not a very quiet person.  God just didn't make me that way.  I am bold. Outspoken. A chatterbox among chatterboxes.  But today? I awoke and I felt it.  The quiet, calm, fiesty stubborness that one rarely sees out of me.  The kind that is more often seen in my lovely friend Darlene.  I'm less...gentle than she is.  Typically a good way to think of me is like a bull in a china shop.  However, over the last 6 years, I have learned.  I have learned to communicate my thoughts and needs more gently.  Anyway, I digress.  The point is...today I feel different.

I awoke with this stubborness that no matter what, I am going to focus on Jesus.  No matter how anyone treats me or how I feel about things or if the sun shines or if it snows.  I am going to stand on the TRUTH and promises He has given me - that He will never fail or forsake me and that He is my strong tower and He will deliver me from all evil.  And I also decided that it is my perogative to piss. Satan. Off.  He's got nothing, anyway. 

So today, I will be quiet.  I will speak when I need to.  And I will only speak light and love. 

In Christ and with love,
Meg
