I need some sunshine...

By
It must be the February "blues" or something.  Every morning it is just blah outside.  No green in sight.  Just WHITE and BROWN. :(  I hate to rush seasons, but I sure could use spring.  I can't wait for the new life to spring forth.  Green shoots sprouting out of the ground, the sound of baby birds chirping, the fresh smell of spring, and the SUNSHINE. :)

I am very thankful for our woodstove that keeps the house warm and cozy.  If we didn't have it, it would be miserable.  I have worked hard on keeping a sunshiny attitude amidst this cold, grey, dreary weather. :)  It's been hard, but I think I've done a pretty good job.

I may sit down today and dream up our garden for the Spring.  We are going to do raised beds this year and do about 3 or 4 and expand it every year.  It should be easier for me to take care of. :) 

I pray you all are doing well in this last stretch of winter. :)  I don't know about you, but all this hibernation has caused me to think about SO many things this winter.  I don't have the warm weather to keep my mind busy.  Some things I don't like to think about and some are necessary to think about.  It's a good time for God to get our attention.  When He does, we should pay attention. Not just dismiss it. What are some things God has been saying to you this winter?

Do you make agreements with satan?

Many of us make agreements with satan and we don't even realize it. It may start out small like a small thought popping in your head. Satan fuels that thought with mores lies until you have made up your mind that you agree with satan. For example...I can't watch Dancing With the Stars...it is too much of a stumbling block for me. Why? Well, just look at them. They have beautiful bodies that seem to move effortlessly. I made an agreement with satan that my body is just not up to par. It's just not good enough. I went from a small thought of "wow, they are beautiful" to "I'm not that beautiful...I don't have those nice curves... I could never be graceful like that" Those are all satan's lies and I AGREED with them. Sure, I don't look like that, but I don't have to fall for the lie that my body and grace are any less good. But, to keep those thoughts at bay...I just don't watch it. Another example would be realizing your
