Drop Kick the Devil!

SO! Isn't it funny the things God uses to get our attention? Sometimes, to me, it gets a little frustrating discerning between God wanting to get our attention, His tests to us and the straight up evil attacks from Satan. I want to believe that they are all similar in function, but at the same time, I believe the Devil attacks hardest when we are on the right path in life and doing what God has for us because let's face it, the little red man with the pitch fork hates it when we're happy in God's plans. On the other hand God wanting our attention means (to me) that there might be an area in our lives that we need to work on, something we need to give up or clean out.

The past few weeks for me seems to be a combination of all of them! It's been everything from car problems, health problems, and to top it off a creeper of a neighbor (whose creepiness only seems to keep escalating) It's been one interesting year so far! But every day is a new day. I was exhausted this morning after only 2-3 hours of edgy sleep but still found the strength to run my errands, go for my run and will shortly be going to school for the night. As I was out for my run I thought that every day is a new day. A chance to start over. A chance to make today better than yesterday. We can only live so far ahead in this fast paced life - we move so fast that we often forget to live in the moment.

So for me, today I promise myself this - I promise to take every day and make it it's personal best. To clean my body, soul and mind daily. To ask for forgiveness daily as well as learn to daily forgive myself. I promise to daily ask God for wisdom and guidance; to be able to discern the difference between tests and attacks.

For you, I hope you can learn to make every day its best. We can only live today. Tomorrow is not promised and yesterday is gone.

You will never regret yesterday if you live today to its fullest!
