Keep in mind! Beware of Distractions! 🚨🔥

The enemy loves to keep you busy, tired, entertained, and overwhelmed—anything to pull your focus away from Jesus and the work He has called you to do. 🎯 Every little distraction, whether it seems innocent or not, can be a tool of spiritual warfare to keep you ineffective.

📖 1 Peter 5:8 (KJV) — "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."

Distractions come in many forms—constant entertainment, social media, endless worries, toxic relationships, or even things that seem good but take priority over your relationship with the Lord. If the enemy can’t destroy you, he’ll distract you!

🔹 Are you too busy for prayer?
🔹 Is your time with God getting pushed aside?
🔹 Do worldly things grab your attention more than the things of God?

🙏 Pray for wisdom and discernment! Ask God to reveal the distractions in your life and give you the strength to overcome them.

📖 Colossians 3:2 (KJV) — "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth."

Keep your eyes on Jesus, stay alert, and don’t let distractions steal your purpose! Eternal things matter.

Reflections on Life and God’s Blessings

For many years, I have carried the heavy weight of pain felt in my back, joints, skin, heart, organs, bones, and nerves. Each day is a battle, and the constant strain leaves me weary and overwhelmed. It is hard for others to truly understand what I endure, and that misunderstanding saddens me. At times, it feels as though my days are slipping away too quickly.

Yet even in the midst of this struggle, I am reminded of the countless blessings God has given me. As a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, my children and family have been a source of joy beyond measure. My husband of 33 years has been another precious gift, a steady companion through every season.

Through it all, my faith has been my anchor. The Lord has poured out His blessings and given me strength to rise each morning. I trust in His miracles and believe He will continue to renew me, even when I feel weak.

Though I long to shake off this deep tiredness and fully embrace the joy and love that surround me, I continue to pray for His sustaining grace. May God’s hand uphold me, and may His blessings give me strength to carry on.

Living with chronic illness is a journey all its own—a life defined by perseverance, patience, and profound strength. It's like its own unique culture, a world where each day is a testament to the power of the human spirit. Though the road may be challenging, it is also rich with moments of grace and gratitude.

I thank God every day for every morning that He gives me life. Each sunrise is a reminder that I am here, that I have another day to embrace the beauty and blessings around me. It's an opportunity to find joy in small victories, to appreciate the unwavering support of loved ones, and to cherish the unwavering resilience that carries me through.

In this life, I have learned to find hope in the darkest of times and to celebrate the smallest of triumphs. Every moment of laughter, every act of kindness, and every breath is a gift. It is through faith and gratitude that I find strength, knowing that each day holds the promise of new beginnings and uncharted possibilities.

I have come to understand that chronic illness doesn't define me—it shapes me. It teaches me to be compassionate, to be patient with myself, and to see the world through a lens of empathy. My journey is one of courage, and every step I take is a testament to the incredible power of the human spirit.
