Happy Live Free Thursday.  I just love this day.  I love the posts that my friend Suzie Eller writes to remind us to live free, and the prompts and connections with other sisters living free.  Check out  http://www.tsuzanneeller.com.  Today’s post prompt made me giggle.. put up your dukes .

and it brought to mind a picture from college.. that I happened to find and can now show to you.  Me and my twin sister are the ones in the middle, I am the one on the right she is on the left looking oh so intense with her pigtail buns 

This was a crazy fun event my small college did in a welcome back to college week.  They got a big water truck, and dug a big hole or something, and made lots of mud.  My sister and I had the best time wrestling in that mud.  Pretending to fight.  Pretending to  be at war as we got dirty together.  But really we could not breathe because we were laughing so hard.  And honestly I could never really fight my best friend since birth.  We have never even sucessfully been angry at eachother more then an hour I think.. and that was on mile nine of training for a marathon– mile 9 it will get you everytime.

So this was fake fighting. That was fun.  We were muddy and worn  out from laughing and  putting up our dukes .

Sometimes we need to get muddy and dirty.  We need to sling some mudpies .
This morning I was reading in Genesis3:13.  Eve tells God, the serpent deceived me and I ate. 

That really stuck out to me this time when I read it.  She ate the  deception of the enemy.  How often do I  do that? Do I eat his lies, buy into his ideas, walk out not in the truth of who I am in Christ?

Romans  16:20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.

When It comes to mud slinging putting up your dukes battle, I am reminded that I am on the winning team, with the victory story at the end.
It’s time to roll up my sleeves, jump in the mud and put up my dukes.
Ephesians 6 battling with the armor of God style.

You in?  Let’s put up our dukes and #livefree in truth

  2. I love the way God spoke something new into your heart from that passage. How often we eat that deception only to see it later for what it really is. And great picture! Thanks for sharing over at #LiveFreeThursday.

  6. You’re so right! We are involved in a spiritual battle. Sometimes I forget that and those are times when I can be deceived or blinded by Satan’s schemes. Thanks for inspiring me today!

  7. Jenn, I was happy to meet up with you on Twitter, and now I remember where I saw you first: at Suzie Eller’s! That picture is priceless, and the comparison you draw to spiritual warfare is good. 🙂 Let’s keep putting up our dukes.
