is it just me or has anyone else noticed...
most of the recent entries on my friends list, which i'm assuming is also atleast part of your friends list, are real downers (except daniela's, thanks for the uplift dear). funny thing about this is i hopped on here with the intent of writing a real downer of a post. after reading everyone elses i still feel a bit sick and flat, but i also think that our current circumstances bear only minor responsibility for these feelings. for those who believe in things of the spirit, believe that spiritual attack and oppression is real and that as an entire body can feel the effects of an assault, no matter where the blow is inflicted, so can the entire body of Christ. thus, those that claim to be affixed to said body, stand strong, be bolstered up in the knowledge of Christ, his power, his love, his plans for the kingdom (plans that hands of the body help construct, your hands, and mine. let us also remember the many members the claim the name of Jesus and lift them up in prayer, we live all around the world and experience all different things. so do what you have to, feel what you will, but at the end of the day, stand and let the joy of the Lord be your strength.
