#Empowered

I'm so thankful that God's grace has allowed me and my family to be rooted so strongly in His word. I see and hear of tragedies that occur weekly and daily to others, however this week was my families turn. I used to say raising boys would be hard in the world today, so many acceptable temptations from immodesty not only in person but plastered all over the T.V. and more. I have been put in my place as I have 2 girls and now realized protecting their innocence is just as hard, if not harder.

This week satan attempted to turn our world upside down by taking innocence away. He finds the weakest link in situations and people and devours them. Through this are consequences that destroy many and become a huge ripple effect which leaves him dancing. Sure he succeeded to take down a few of us, and has broken several relationships apart, but oh how most of us are standing strong because we are equipped (#empowered) by the Lord our God! We have a long road ahead but rest assure that we are not alone! We even look back and see how He protected a situation we were too blind to see. He WAS there the entire time!

Some may walk away from tragedies being angry at God, wondering why He allows such things to happen. My family will walk away stronger and seeing the many ways we can use this tragedy for His glory leaving us EMPOWERED!
