As God says - in Ephesians 6:13-15 (New International Version)
13) Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14) Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15) and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
Impregnable - "standing firm" - with God (or kneeling - lol)
That's YOU girlfriend - totally you!
I saw that word today, looked it up and "impregnable faith" was sitting right there. Right at the bottom! I just had to post it. Thanks for that verse. I LOVE it.....it's been one of my favorites for 30 years. Love you girl.
Talk aboaut being in-tune with you - I saw that I had typed to fast and mis-spelled the word "inpregnable" instead of "impregnable" so I went to fix it by deleting and reposting when I looked it over again - I saw that you and I posted at the exact same minute -
How awesome is that?
BTW, I went for the interview this morning and I think I did well. I should be hearing either today or tomorrow.
Even we don't "win" Battles at the Time; we Learn from them, Grow Strong and Wise Because of them, and Discover just how much We can Stand or Survive.
The Only thing that can Defeat us (in Any sense of the word) is our own Selves-whether it's Us that is doing something Harmful to ourselves, or we Allow the Thoughts/Actions of Others to do it For us; and the Moment we put our Pride and Judgment aside (especially Self-Judgment!)is the Exact Moment when we Need to drop to our Knees, Close our Eyes, Open our Spirits Completely, and give All of ourselves Over to the Great Spirit...
Your Journey has Not been an Easy one, my Friend-and you have not Only had to Struggle Against the Anger/Resentments/Judgments & Opinions/ and Arrogance of those you have Held Dear-you have Also had to Fight Against your Own Idea of Who and What You Are-and you have Remained Strong-even when you are Alone.
We are the Key to our Own Selves-and With it; we can either Unlock the Doors, or we can Lock ourselves In and be Prisoners of our Own Creation...
May the Great Spirit Keep you in his Sight
