This is kinda' crazy and kinda' exciting all in one. It seems like God and Satan are going one for one right now...unfortunately, the one for one on Satan's part seems to a concerted effort to ruin everything I own or as in today's case, affect my body.
If you read the last post, then you know how frustrating things are for me right now. It seems like God allows a Tebow article and something goes wrong, like a flat tire. Then God allows another post and something else goes wrong, like a demon-possessed cell phone. God allows another article and another tire goes flat and today, God allows another article to be posted and I have had a horrific muscle spasm in my side all day.
Today was an overwhelming day. It ended in tears, many of them. In the midst of them God brought comfort first through His Spirit and then a friend. I sat sat in my classroom, overwhelmed and tearful, His Spirit just kept saying, 'You know why this is happening, stay faithful, I'm here, don't quit.' and then as a friend gave me a ride home, she just let me cry and offered to do anything she could. I love friends who will just let you cry, not tell you to suck it up, and then offer what help they can. God has truly blessed me with the best friends.
Logic would say to quit praying and all the things going wrong would stop, but that would mean Satan wins. We've been at this too long to let him win. I know I have to trust that God knows what He's doing, He knows how much I can take (which is waaaaay more than I think) and He won't let Satan do anything to me that He doesn't want to happen. Today, seeing yet another Tebow article has given me encouragement to do just that. Isn't God gracious?
