Don't sweat it.

I wasn't expecting myself to be online right now. I thought I'd be so tired that I'd straight up knock out after prayer meeting. But something's going down. And I can't just let it slip by.

Today was one of the most interesting days I've lived through thus far. Unforgetable, irreplaceable... it was one of the scariest but best day type of thing? To be able to sense strange things like that, to be a witness of spiritual warfare once more, to be at the "scene of the crime"--so to speak--and fight a battle with my second family. To be able to truly feel the presence of God and Mama Mary as they held me tightly in their arms, supporting my body as I stood aimlessly, shaking, covered with sweat and tears... it was definitely a moment to remember. To have a discussion and to actually realize I'm not living my life on my own, that there are people going through similar trials with me right here and right now, to be reassured that we, as a community, need to grow stronger in so many different aspects... something that I'd love to relive again.

I'm ready to face trials and challenges. As for overcoming them, I know that my Lord will be my strength, my refuge.

The gift of faith. I need more of it.
The gift of discernment. I may have it.
