Hey girl!

This morning around 9:15 I was flipping through channels and stopped on the inspiration network and just decided to stop turning them. Joyce Meyer was on talking about spiritual maturity. I like watching her sometimes cause my mom reads her books and she says that Joyce is very comical but makes a great deal of sense. She said something this morning that made me think about myself in these terms. She said, "If believers would grow up, they could become victors and not victims." This may not sound like a lot to you, but trust me...this made a profound push in my soul. I have known for a minute that my spirit was hungry and I wasn't feeding it the right things. A few days ago I made a promise to myself that I was going to begin to take better care of me...in every aspect. I think that God is proud of my vow and is helping me. Cause I mean that statement said so much to me. She was talking about how people talk about how the devil is always attacking them. And that is so true. I mean the devil is running wild; he's trying to attack everyone cause he's trying to get as many souls as he can. Well, I tell you what....he ain't getting mine! If the devil is leaving you alone, THEN you have a problem, cause that means he already has you in his grasps. (I really don't know if you all can understand the impact this message had on me). She also said, "The devil is always attacking, but that doesn't mean you have to be miserable while he is." This is so true. How many times do people just say they can't take it anymore? Lord knows I have said that on more than a few occasions. But if you can smile in the devil's face while he's throwing stones your way, then you've already accomplished something. There have been so many times I have just wanted to give up cause it looked like the devil wouldn't leave me alone. I didn't think I was going to be able to make it. I am that person...the one who just said that the devil was always attacking and I couldn't stop it. Well, she made me change my way of thinking. Times will always be hard. People will always betray me. People will always stop loving me. But I don't have to let that control my life. And guess what....I'm not anymore.
On another note....I had the weirdest dream this morning. In my dream there was a violent thunderstorm. I mean violent too buddy. I'm talking trees leaning severly, wind blowing so hard that it would pick you up, and the rain was just sharp and hard. However, my entire family (entire George-Dickinson clan -that's about 75 people) was outside. We were gathered together and laughing and having a good time. It wasn't Christmas and no one died, we were just together. I'm telling you that is such a rareity in my family. Oh-that's my mom's side by the way. And this is the best part, we were in abundant sunshine. It was like in the cartoons where the rainclouds were just over Wile E. Coyote's head, but vise versa. We got the rays of sunshine while everyone else was inside. I told Pat about it when we woke up this morning, cause I wasn't sure what it meant. And he was telling me that maybe the storm that my family is growing through is about to come to a close. Or at least we will find solace in it. You know that brightened my day. Cause I began to think back on my dream and the only person missing was my uncle (the one with the habit), but we weren't talking about him in past tense. That makes me feel like he's about to get himself some help. I almost cried thinking about it. My uncles are like my backbones. Each on of them has taught me something valuable. They were my dad when he wasn't around, so this means a great deal to me. My family is going through so much as is...just to get a lil sunshine in our lives makes my heart smile.
I hope everyone's having a great day. I have work I need to be doing, but I had to share that with someone...I guess any of you who actually read this. Talk to you all later. Eat it up....cause you know me. It might be a month before you get another entry (Soul...not a word big bro). 
Hey girl!!! I'm loving the new look to your journal! Hi Webcam! (I've got to get one of those!!!!) 
Yes! "If the devil is leaving you alone, THEN you have a problem, cause that means he already has you in his grasps."-->My thoughts exactly...I can't even express how much I agree with this..i've actually said it before. I love this entry. I'm really feelin' you and your internal plight. The whole deal...it's weird, but it's so nice to have the chance to know you, because we relate so much. I agree with Pat regarding the dreams meaning...it could be because your families hardship is coming to a close or it could be a reflection of your personal desires for the sun to finally shine again.
To lighten the mood!
