What It's September!!!

This year has buzzed by. Why is it the older you get the faster time flies? I remember when I had my first child.  My father told me hang on for the fastest ride of your life. It's true.  That child is now in her thirties!

While I'm older and pretty much set in my ways, I have a routine I follow daily.  I wake up each morning and pray before I put one foot off my bed.  This takes a while because my prayer list is long. Once, I'm fortified for the day, I place my feet on the floor ready to take on whatever comes my way. One step at a time, each one in faith that I'll take another.

Once I'm up, everything in life comes crashing in, but it's how I start my day which is the important thing here. Without this fortification and wearing the armor of my Heavenly Father, I'd be lost in the scramble of a fast paced life. Like the Ark going before the Israelite's in battle, I carry my Father's spirit with me throughout the day. No dark spirits can pass through without my letting them. Depression, anxiety, worry, and just plain low energy levels are held at bay while I follow my trek.

How do you start your day? Are you plagued by things which hamper your spirit? Put on the armor of God and may He give you peace.
