Basically Brooks

This is my first summer break in 4 years, and I am really enjoying slowing things down and reflecting on life.   The last few months have been filled with lots of reminders of the following things: 1.  life is precious 2.  we aren't promised tomorrow 3.  cherish every moment These three things continue to put life into perspective and make me ask myself over and over each day questions like, "Does this really matter?"   Over the last few weeks there have been a few times where Satan seems to be prowling and trying to take me down.  I recognize it, and I refuse to let him win.  While I may have a little moment where I need to have a good cry, I see what is happening.  Satan is trying to win, and he won't.  I can't let him win.   One specific day, someone tried to tear me down with their words.  It hurt my heart.  A lot.  I confided in of my sweet friends, and she asked me, "Is this the worst day ever for you, or what?"  I took a minute to think
