When you sit and listen to how much drama goes on in certain families and also the stuff that can try and enter into your own lives, you realize how good you have it when you learn to live and enjoy life.  Simply because Life has enough drama of its own to take it upon ourselves to create more.  The better days to come are here, because we can choose to live our life with Christ first and by doing it gives us the protection to know that if Our God is for Us, then who could be Against us!  When I look at the drama in my life and I see how God used that to create something awesome, it makes me in more awe of who he is.  He knows exactly what we need, but more so he knows exactly what it will take for us to open our eyes.  My eyes have been opened to the evil trying to infiltrate God’s Beloved, but because Jesus is a Warrior and Awesome protector he lays his hands of peace over me and allows me to share my love and transformation in him with others.  It is one of the best feelings to know that someone is talking trash about you, and they people listening let you know that it is going in one ear and out of the other.  One of the most important of the many lessons I have learned from the Holy Spirit is be yourself, be who you are with your friends, enemies and alone behind closed doors with yourself.  Then there is nothing to hide, because people will know your brokenness but because of that they will be wiling and more likely to share theirs with you.  I hid for so many years and that same coward tries to poke himself out of the darkness sometimes, but then Jesus reminds me of John 10:10, My paraphrase ” Anthony, Satan has come to steal your peace, kill your hopes and destroy your dreams, but I Anthony have come to put all of who Satan is under my feet, because My son, I have come that you may LIVE life to the FULL.”  There is no more hiding or shame when your True, One and Only God says why he has come.  I am excited to keep living my life with God first and with all the trials and tribulations that will help mold me into a better Man, better Future Husband, Better Future Father and Better Disciple of Christ! As God speaks this to my heart and my soul, I can only LOOK FORWARD TO THE BETTER DAYS TO COME!!  This truth is for all of us!! Amen!
