The Devil Can't Have Me No Matter What

I am just an ordinary person who loves the Lord and wants to spread His Word.

For many years, my husband and I were caretakers for my parents who lived with us. Being caretakers while working full time jobs, never left time for us to live. I was never without my parents living with me.

Raised as a Christian who loved God, I was almost undone by life's circumstances, sicknesses, tragedies, depression, dealing with mean people, not understanding how to cope, and I nearly lost my faith.

All my life my mom never let me forget who was in charge - God. And never let me give up on Him. Even when she was 96 and I knew I would lose her, she reminded me to pray, believe and trust Him. Her unwavering love for God and for me were an inspiration. Although I miss her every day I know she is in Heaven waiting for me.

After my mom passed away, I did not know what to do. She was everything to me. But then a thought came to me, something my mom would say to me all my life to help me focus on God - "The devil can't have me no matter what, I'll hit him in the head and I'll kick him in the butt".
