Warrior Child

For the past five mornings I have eagerly logged onto the blog anxious to hear the Lord's message through Joy's words while sipping on the flavor of coffee I had in my house. This week I bought Raspberry Chocolate from Smokey Row and became frustrated as I could not find a compatible flavor of cream. You are probably thinking she has a coffee addiction and it is true I do! I comfort myself that there is a devotional book titled "Latte and the Lord". So, I am not the only one that believes they go nicely together!

Joy, thank you for your diligent posts and the courage to blog what the Lord put on your heart. I hope you have not felt alone, but know we were walking with you in Spirit and Prayer. As you find yourself weary I pray you are resting in Jesus' arms. The safest place for a warrior child. As I daily read where the Lord led you in scripture and listened to your heart I was warmed by the beautiful picture you painted showing us a real journey traveled with Him.

You have challenged me to ask myself what it means to be a warrior child. . . "Am I willing or can I . . . .live, do, battle, surrender, listen, or suffer bringing Glory to the Lord?" It seems life doesn't always give me a choice in the battle but rather forces me into unexpected wars. In reverent fear I share today, "I am willing" learning only the Spirit within gives me the strength or weakness I need to be a warrior child that gives all the Glory to the Lord!

Love, Lissa
