Barbara took 7 to Ashes to Beauty (Women\u2019s Encounter). This was over at Lake of the Ozarks. About a dozen other women were at our Spring Women\u2019s Retreat Session I. It was hosted at Little Flat Creek Ranch. Just east of Purdy, Missouri. I am always blown away by what I hear took place at our events for female veterans and female spouses of veterans.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barbara and I were reviewing her notes from the weekend. Comparing them to what our daughter had written down as well. Let\u2019s just say that Anna wrote a book. Barbara\u2026not so much. But, as she was telling me what she had written down, several things stuck out to me. One thing in particular is this quote: \u201cAs soon as you open your eyes, you\u2019re in spiritual warfare.\u201d I\u2019m not sure a more true statement has ever been said. This is spot on. As soon as we wake up, the battle begins. Daily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two sides in this daily battle. Team Jesus. And Team Satan. We know about Team Jesus. We know what he stands for. So let\u2019s talk about the other side. Satan is a snake. Sneaking around. Lurking in the shadows. Using opportune moments to attack us. Layoffs, debts, health issues, etc. Using our emotions against us. Anxiety, depression, anger, etc. He doesn\u2019t do anything in the open. It\u2019s all behind the scenes. Because, he knows he will be spotted for who he is. So each morning, let\u2019s be sure to wake up understanding that he is coming after us. Let\u2019s put on our armor to fight him off. But more importantly, let\u2019s wake up knowing that Jesus has us. The victory has already been declared. Satan has already lost. Our Lord and Savior take care of that for us years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past weekend, Charlie 22 Outdoors hosted several women at two different retreats.
