Last Sunday in church, Pastor Kevin talked about Satan, and how he is constantly throwing road blocks at you. Just when things are looking up, things seem to be getting in order, and you begin to feel encouraged, he strikes...
Last night, Addyson had one of her "fits," and Bob and I had a nice, big arguement. Big enough that we went to sleep mad, and woke up unrefreshed. What a crappy ending to what was looking to be a great day. The day I started my blog. The day I ran into Pastor John and had a nice, unexpected conversation. The day I felt like I was really getting closer to where I wanted to be.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the Devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you. I Peter 5:8-10
Like the first step to for a recovering addict is knowing they have a problem, at least I am aware that it is Satan trying to stand in my way. A few months ago, I would have gotten frustrated, discouraged, and held onto my anger. Today, while saddened, I seek to find answers and solutions through prayer instead of trying to solve the problems myself.
To top it all off, I'm not feeling well today. Sore throat, fuzzy head...springtime yucks. But instead of being irritated and cranky that I am sick, I am thanking God for making me rest today. Lying here has given me some alone time to ponder, pray, and hope for a better day tomorrow.
