Spiritual warfare -- Getting rooted in Christ

I apologize for disappearing for the 10 days or so ....
I've been going through some adversities in my life and I've realized my inability to address the adversity properly and move forward in Faith, had been strongly connected to certain things going wrong within my own heart. Struggling with the "spiritual warfare" that has been going on within me and around me had a lot to do with aspects of my relationship with Jesus Christ that I have overlooked or thought that I HAD covered but I guess not completely -- specifically being "well rooted in Jesus Christ".

I will go on to explain what this means in the following blog, but I hope you can understand.
Rather on thinking "what about me", I've been working on focusing on "what about the Lord and what He wants to do through me and for me in my life".
Finally getting a grip on the truth: that my life isn't about me but serving Jesus Christ and sharing the "good news" in love ... I've been doing what I can to "strengthen my roots in Jesus Christ" and to use this time of adversity to draw me closer to Him and to focus on what He desires for me to learn and to grow from the storms of adversity.

So ... anyone who would feel up for praying for me, I would be very thankful.

Moving forward: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your OWN understanding, but IN ALL THINGS acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path and make it straight" [Proverbs 3:5-6]

I have faith that His love will carry me through all adversities in my life ... and all will turn out for good; that every little thing that occurs in my life ... will be all right :)
For His plan, His purpose, and His Glory -- in loving me and all those that are His will never fail. Amen
