Be on guard against the pit of self-pity. When you are weary or unwell, this demonic trap is the greatest danger you face. Don't even go near the edge of the pit. Its edges crumble easily, and before you know it, you are on the way down. It is ever so much harder to get out of the pit than to keep a safe distance from it. That is why I tell you to be on guard. There are several ways to protect yourself from self-pity. When you are occupied with praising and thanking Me, it is impossible to feel sorry for yourself. Also, the closer you live to Me, the more distance there is between you and the pit. Live in the Light of My Presence by fixing you eyes on Me.
Then you will be able to run with ENDURANCE the race that is set before you, without stumbling or falling.

I love you girls and just wanted to remind you that you are BELOVED, BEAUTIFUL daughters of our KING!
Also, my friend's roomie here found this 30-day challenge for women. Check it out and see if you want to do it with us. It's a challenge to become biblical women so I thought it would fit right in with our study, except I haven't looked into it yet, so let me know what you think. (You have to subscribe, but it's free-no worries!)

Confession: Last night I was being a little poop to Dan :/ I keep getting upset at things that he could never know that he is doing "wrong" and I feel bad. But it seems like it continues to happen on a regular basis. I think it comes down to me loving him too much, sadly. Pray that there will be no idolatry in our relationship (from me, he has no problem with it ha which also frustrates me hah) and that my heart will be at peace where as now and lately it is heavily burdened with many things, especially future/decisions and family...
Love you a lot, have a gentle and quiet spirit today because you are of great worth to our king. (1 Peter 3:4)
