Fight the Good Fight

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood],
but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds.
5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and
reasonings and every
proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God;
and we lead every thought and purpose away
captive into the
obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Annointed One).
II Corinthians 10:4,5
The Everyday Life Bible (Amplified Version)
I don't know what I think of boundaries. I am cetain that there are things that I control by the decisions I make. I am certain the decisions I make affect those around me. I am certain that I need people, but not as much as I need MY God. I have responsibilities. I accept them. I have the power within myself to overcome. That power comes from MY Lord and Saviour.

Boundaries, a book to re-read

My sister has come a long way in the last little bit. I am proud of her determination to keep her boys on a tight schedule, especially on school nights. The only problem is...I miss my sister tremendously. We both have schedules that are hard to incorporate together during the daylight hours so when I'd love to be sitting on her couch doing nothing but being next to her, she's diligently following her evening routine in order to give her boys the stability they need. And when I'd love her to be sitting on my couch next to me doing nothing, while the boys run amuck, that cuts into her evening routine and her self worth. I do not like the situation that has been created between 2210 Savannah Dr and 2309 Ragland Rd, but as it turns out, I have no control over that. My heart will continue to be pulled southward, longing for the security, the friendship that I now miss so much. Boundaries, Leann, boundaries.
