One of the things I have used in the past to shield myself from hurt has been offense. Three years ago today, my good friend, Lisa Goodwin introduced me to a book called, “The Bait of Satan: Living Free from the Deadly Trap of Offense” by John Bevere. I asked Lisa to guest post today. 

One day after posting for #adifferentmarch it seemed quiet... too quiet. No likes, shares. I thought I must've really missed the mark. Maybe I'm the only one who struggles with this stuff.  

I was recently at a mountain cabin sitting on the back deck when a forceful wind came out of nowhere. I was snuggled up under a warm blanket with my face to the sun. As the wind chimes played a pleasant tune, I heard a rustling of dead leaves.
