Life can be "Messy!"

Love the phrase, “Life is messy!” It is so true. The last two weeks have been messy at the Myers’ home. Not just figuratively, but also literally! Anyone want to volunteer a maid service? I will graciously accept!

When things are “messy” is it important how we respond to the mess. The Flu circulated in our house for over a week, an ER run with David yesterday, and today is my 7^th day with a migraine. Responding without frustration has been challenging. Oh could I come up with excuses to respond in an impatient manner. Yeah my head hurts bad and I’m not thinking right! However, Jesus has called us to be His representatives, a royal priesthood.

God has really been showing me to stay focused on Him at all times. Today I was washing windows when I actually started thinking good of myself. I hear that whisper in my ear, “Boy you sure are cleaning this good. Look at that window. I bet people think you are quite a servant.” OH MY! How Satan likes to attack our ego! Immediately I started saying out loud, “I’m doing this for your glory Lord.” The whispers stopped.

Why do I share this? I really think with our Harvest Bible Chapel West Davenport Campus Launch coming in a week we are under a MAJOR spiritual attack. Satan does not like what we have undertaken. He wants to destroy us from within. We have approximately 80 people on our launch team. The evil one wants to destroy our relationships with each other and within our families. Make us ineffective. Ineffective to reach hurting people for the Lord Almighty. They are searching, watching, hearts are softening. A revival is knocking at our doors…are we going to answer in our own hearts so we can start a spiritual awakening in our town?

Our family will not bend to discouragement! Our family will not bend low to self-glory! My friends be aware! Put on your armor! We have already won! Christ has WON friends and we need to be strong against the enemy and fight for every lost soul. Do we need to Repent ourselves? Do we need to Pray more?

I faultier too often. Search me OH LORD! I don’t keep my eyes on the prize…I look down too much. I am so thankful to friends and family that encourage me and spur me on. One is Autumn and Jeremy Hickman. They are a great encouragement and I love them so much. Their love for the lost is contagious. Thank you Lord for people like them!

Keep our eyes on the prize. Philippians 3:14 “I press on towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

LETS ROLL!
