Press In Your Pain

It has been a while since my last post but a lot has happened in and around me. Some good, some not so good, but all came together to make me a stronger woman and for that, I am most thankful. In the past few months I have learned how painful a press can be. We hear that when life hands you lemons to make lemonade. Well friends, that is easier said than done and I am sure there are a lot of you out there who agree with me. When life hands you a lemon, most of us do not think of making lemonade rather, we think of the seeds that it contains and how sour it is to taste. We think about how difficult it is to peel a lemon and the sting the smell can cause in your nose. In other words we think about all of the things that make it difficult to get to that lemonade.

We often hear, "I've got your back", and keep it moving feeling as if nothing and no one can harm us. That even if someone tried, those who "have" our backs, will defend us and keep anyone who wants to cause harm or stop the progression of God in our lives, away from us. We feel confident in that, and most times don't even bat an eye.

But friends, we have to be in constant prayer as to who has our backs. What do I mean by that? Well not everyone who says they HAVE your back should be AT your back. Let me break it down even further. If the person watching your back is trying to manipulate your circle, you need to change those or the one who is "backing" you. Not everyone who says they have our backs, have our backs. Some are watching our backs only to gain entry into who…
