Thankfulness Conquers

Being thankful I think is the key so many things in our lives.  I think being thankful helps conquer against Satan when he tries to wiggle his way into your thoughts.

This weekend I went and visited a friend who has helped bring me out of my shell so to speak, but she had been pushing me and others away and is in a negative place right  now.  I went to visit her and I'm so glad I did.  We talked and shared with each other, I think it helped both of us.  I'm thankful for her and her friendship and I didn't want to it to drift away so I went to her instead of waiting for her to come to me.

This weekend also allowed time for Ben and I to talk.  Our relationship is still so new that we still are leaning how the other thinks, feels, what bothers or doesn't bother the other one.  I didn't think it was that hard to get to know someone, in fact I remember is being easier than it is now, maybe because of being younger and having a different attitude on live and not so many negative things taken place yet in my life.  Now its a little harder to get to know someone, with walls or guards up because of how life has treated us over the years and the experiences we have lived through.

This weekend I conquered Satan from trying to bring in past hurts and thoughts from others and past relationships into this new relationship that is developing.  I'm so thankful that I have the Lord in my life to guide me, my thoughts, and reactions as long as I trust and lean on him and let it go to him.  That is what I did and so thankful.  I love the Lord and how he works in my life.
