God's Armor

We have trusted God by trusting our new church. We have gotten involved with their youth group, Brian is playing drums again, and we even trusted them enough to join a small group. Yikes. One of my most hated phrases in "christianese", and one of the most saturated places of hurt and abuse at St. Lucifer's.
Actually they call them "Life Groups" at New Life, so that helps. Anyway, I am so glad we did it because we have learned SO much!!!!
One of the challenges we had for this week was to pray for "the Full Armor of God" in Ephesians 6:10, five mornings in a row and see what happens. This may be a huge DUH for some, but it has been amazing for me. I can't tell you any marked changes, but I've felt overwhelming peace, and comfort. And it has made me pray in the mornings, something I watched my father do, and felt it's affects, but stupidly never did it myself. Now I can't imagine my mornings without it, and I hope to be the same example for my children. And it's only been 5 freakin days!
