lilmissmontana, I wish I could say it was cheerfulness

. That would mean I had something to do with it! Really though it isn't something I can do on my own. It is purely the joy of the Lord that carries me day by day. Yes I decide daily to put my life in His hands but the rest is up to Him. Believe you me, if I tried to get through a day without His hand and His joy, I wouldn't be worth talking to... it would be easy for me to slip into those dark places. As my testimony states, I fell into believing the lies of Satan several times and had to fight my way back.
I did learn one thing positive from my dad and that was when someone shakes your hand and then stomps your toe while they got ahold of you, don't shake their hand no more. Well Satan has been there everyday willing to hold my hand, and he has got a few stomps in on my toes (my legs, my belly, my arms, my head...) I now have the choice if I want to hold his hand or that of my Savior! I choose Jesus

.
I feel I need to add one thing though cause someone needs this word. On here you can not see when I am wencing in pain

or my face shows a spot of worry

, I speak from my heart (even here) and in that speech I know the truth. Trying to get that knowledge from heart to head or heart to the leg that feels like it is being torn off while sitting still is another thing. I am far from perfect, I am far from arriving to the place God would have me be as a disciple of His, The important thing is that He knows my heart and that is to win over those things that the enemy means for bad in my life and continue walking with Him every day

.
I covet your prayers as well, please don't forget my son as he will be with mom but even with this he is a bit insecure since his daddy passed on when I am out of his sight for very long.
