Guys- wow. Wow. It’s all I can really say.
I’ve spent the last two days trying to process through what God did during my last post- and I have barely made a dent. I received so many encouraging texts and words from people about what I had written- so many great things to think and pray about, and to read further. So many stories of other people relating to what I had written and affirming what God had taught me.
Before I wrote that post, I was extremely hesitant, and worried that it was completely off base and just wrong. Looking back now, God has clearly affirmed what I wrote and where I feel Him drawing me next on this journey. I couldn’t have felt more encouraged yesterday thinking about where to go next with my reading and writing.
It should have been no surprise, in light of all of this, that the Enemy wanted to fight back.
I don’t want to spend time complaining, but today was one of those days that provided strong evidence for Murphy’s Law. Almost everything that could have gone wrong in my normal schedule today did go wrong. I couldn’t have been more discouraged.
It felt as if the things fighting against me knew that they had been exposed, and decided to come out in full force. They knew my weaknesses and knew exactly how to fight me.
And it sucked. So. So. Much.
I’m not sure this is a battle I could have won even one month ago. I think it would have crushed me. But God is faithful. The community of people God has given me through this process has been an incredible that nothing we do is solo. Every post I have written has started conversations and opened doors to places I never thought I would see.
I made it through today. It won’t be the last battle fought. But God led me through this oe, and, thanks to many of you, I know that He will continue to lead me.
One final note- I had never truly realized how important of a topic spiritual warfare was, or how affected many of us have been by it. It is only through the grace and strength of God that I continue forward. I pray you all will keep contributing to the conversation and the learning.
Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
The Lord has heard my plea, the Lord accepts my prayer.
All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
Psalm 6:8-10 ESV
