Just Keep On Keepin' On

This may sound weird, but hang with me!

I know lucifer is real, and he knows us just as much as our Elder Brother, Jesus. I think people forget that though cast out, lucifer is our brother and he does watch us and know us. I like to think, at times, that I am impervious to his ways, that I am trying so hard to do all the things asked of us that when he does come calling I won't even notice. While this may be true for some sins, I have been humbled to realize he even knows exactly what it will take to knock me down a few notches emotionally. I have really been re-dedicating myself and my time to focus on the things of the gospel that will bring me closer to my Savior and Heavenly Father. And it seems that when I start to feel like I am making some great progress, here comes lucifer and unfortunately down I go. I know it is him and you would think I would realize it before taking it so personally, but in the heat of the moment I don't. It makes me miserable and I sit and stew over it and let it bother me, just as he knew I would. Then after a few hours, it hits me and I start my journey back up. Hopefully this time, when he tries to get me, I will be able to say..nice try!!!
