Attack

My blog is titled "WARRIOR" but the truth is lately, I've been running for cover. OK, it's taken me a while, but now I realize--I've been under attack. Yes, every day we're under attack. Satan sees us in our commitment and progression toward God and wants to do everything he can to undermine what God is trying to do through us. When all of me is emptied out and willing to be used by God, Satan starts working overtime. I've realized recently that things have been bad, but didn't realize just how this all began snowballing until talking with a friend this morning. I look at all the things happening in my life in the last few months and it all started when I set myself aside and prayed and fasted for someone I love. Then everything snowballed. It never happens overnight, but little by little. It started with stress at work, then progressed to missing fellowship at church by being out of town for several weekends. Then I started having health issues, which has progressed to dissention in my marriage due to all of the above. The list goes on and on. I felt like I was on a downward spiral. But today, God spoke to me through a friend who gave me insight and clarifiation. I feel freedom again...and it's sweet.
