I know you think I’ve got the answer of all answers.
I am smiling while typing this because you are going to think I’m crazy!
I bought the CD set of the “Study of David” from the Deeper Still event in Nashville, featuring Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore and Kay Arthur.
Can I just tell you that I’ve listened to Priscilla and Beth—and could not help but cry at so much of what they shared. The Word knowledge of Kay Arthur and her powerful testimony will also stir the soul!
Whether you believe me or not, this set of CD’s “Anointed~Transformed~Redeemed” REALLY blessed me in the critical phase of the fluctuating hormones of mine! I was able to pray through—cry through and praise through the toughest of days!
Okay. On to other stuff.
I haven’t written in more than a week. Maybe longer. I think I’ve had “bloggers block”. Whatever.
I’ve been writing (with actual pencil and paper) in my devotional book, “My Utmost” by Oswald Chambers. That has been so needed and absolutely necessary in these past few weeks! So while I’ve not been writing “to you”…I’ve been writing to HIM.
My medicine has pretty much leveled out—I am feeling better—almost like my old self (not sure if that’s exactly good *wink*), but there was a day a couple of weeks ago, when I received a letter that brought tears and pain. (*see note at the bottom)
All that said, I’m okay now, the LORD revealed to my heart the “why” this person wrote in such a manner to me…and while I don’t agree—I do understand what the enemy is about.
He’s up to no good. He, the enemy, is out to kill, steal and destroy all that is good in your life. If he can work through your hormones he will. If he can work through your job, he will. If he can work through your family or friends, he will.
What I want you to know is that you CAN recognize what he’s about in your life and put a stop to it. Prayer will stop him in his tracks.
Every time. Prayer is key to deliverance in all of this “stuff” we call life!
Make Proverbs 4:20-22 a prayer for the “dailyness” of our lives…especially the hormones.
“I will attend to God’s words; consent and submit to His sayings. I will not let them depart from my sight but will keep them in the center of my heart. For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh.”
Romans 8:37 “I am more than a conqueror through Christ Who loves me.”
Write those on a card and stick them on your mirror or tape it on the dashboard…reminding yourself daily, as I have to, that His Word is true—and He is with you all the way.
*One thing I found out on the day the letter came: the medicine that “had been working fine”—abruptly ceased—almost—when the stress hit the fan. It was a major stress…and it really hit the fan.
So, deep breath, lots of prayer, focus on HIM and not on the circumstance. If you are taking your hormone replacement and feel that it’s not working as it once did, examine your life before the doctor increases your dosage. It may be a simple matter of “de-stressing”—or de-cluttering your heart life.

Angie….I didn’t know about this blog of yours! Love it too! Just wanted I needed to hear today. For years I’ve given Satan a new name “The Punk” because that is exactly what he is….He aims to kill, steal, and destroy. Thanks for the reminder that we all have our days and reminding us of the joy set before us through Jesus Christ! Thanks for not always having it together because most of us don’t!

This says it ALL: “He’s up to no good. He, the enemy, is out to kill, steal and destroy all that is good in your life. If he can work through your hormones he will. If he can work through your job, he will. If he can work through your family or friends, he will. What I want you to know is that you CAN recognize what he’s about in your life and put a stop to it. Prayer will stop him in his tracks.”
I want to sit on that beautiful bench in Mother’s garden! O my goodness what a place to PRAY!
I love you sister and you already know I’m praying for and with you. I thank GOD for what He is doing in your life. All the balancing out is HIM. He’s so amazing! He makes every crooked path straight even our hormones, when we lean on and trust in Him.
