Waging War

I apologize for my lack of posts lately! I've been insanely busy! Things are starting to get a little harder, but that was to be expected with school starting. However, I am still completely blown away and in awe of God's faithfulness and blessings! I heard the song, Waging War, by Cece Winans at church on Sunday. Wow, thank you God! Just what I needed to hear! I am indeed waging war, but it is a war that my Lord and Savior has already won! Anyways, I would encourage everyone to listen to this song! Satan is trying to creep the loneliness in, but I have an surprising contentment with God. I feel somewhat isolated from my family because of my faith. I don't have a lot of other relationships right now. God is working through one friendship I cherished from the past, and I'm so thankful for that. I know and trust that His timing will be perfect for restoring and healing that relationship. Other than that, I have a lot of God time which is good! I've spent a lot of time at St. Francis hospital in Peoria. That has really begun to wear on me emotionally and physically. Two very precious little girls that I love a lot have been there for over a week now. If I'm not there I'm constantly thinking about them, but it's been hard! I know my God is a healer though, and He's gonna take care of my sweet girls! As for me, I fell on ice leaving church Sunday night. My shoulder popped out and then back in which always loosens it a lot. Monday I felt miserable, but it was my first day of student teaching. By the end of the day I felt really sick so I walked to the bathroom and ended up falling and passing out. And when I fell I dislocated my shoulder. So, that's been very painful! I've been fighting through the other pain okay lately though. Please pray for my doctor appointment on Friday! It will be doctor #4 trying to figure out what's going on with my body. I'm hoping for a full blood work up because that has not been done yet. Monday I go to the eye doctor because my vision has been drastically decreasing and next Friday I go back to the doctor that did my scope on December 31st to get the biopsy results. I was blessed to be 1 of 3 student teachers with my sweet supervisor! I was so thankful! She is a Christian and just a lovely woman that cares more about her students than the specifications of her job! She called me this morning and told me not to go to school even though my school had not cancelled since the roads were so bad. Which was also just the break I needed to feel caught up on so many things and relieve a lot of stress! Thank you Jesus :) Please pray for Alyssa too who leaves soon to go to China for 2 years to work with orphans that have special needs! God is going to use her in mighty mighty ways! Be blessed!
Love,
Jenna

Waging War
by CeCe Winans

Anoint my head
anoint my feet
Send your angels raining down
Here on the battle ground
For your glory
We're taking territory
Fighting unseen enemies
Like never before
We're Waging War

I'm tired of principalities
Messing with me
(Waging war)
I'm tired of the devil
Stealing from me
(Waging war)
I promise he won't get
One more thing
(Waging war)
I'm taking it back
Taking territory
(Waging war)
I'm ready for the battle
I'm ready to win
(Waging war)
My weapon of power
He lives within
(Waging war)
I can't be defeated
The enemy's gotta flee
(waging war)
I'm taking it back
Taking territory
Going into battle
Going into battle
Be my sword
Be my shield
As we claim the victory
Over the enemy
In your name
You rule and rain
Never being defeat anymore
We're waging war

Send your fire
Send your fire

Fire by night
Cloud by day
A strong tower
Send the latter rain
Lion of Judah
Lord, God, Mighty In battle
Since you did it back then
We know you'll do it again
We're going into battle
We're going into battle
