I had a bit of a breakdown today. That post beneath is the tip of the iceberg.
Trouble is coming out of the woodwork and completely blindsided me. Sunday night I gave God complete control over a high priority experience in the scheme of my life. I've not taken it back, and man I've taken a beating.
God has remained faithful through all of it. Various loved ones have spoken truth into my life and for that I'm so grateful. Tonight I was telling the lady I babysit with that I'm just getting slammed by really weird things lately. Do you know what this wise woman said? "Satan knows you've given it all to Him, that's why he's hitting you as hard as he can. He's been around here longer than we have."
I'm not sure why Satan would bother with me to be perfectly honest. And I hesitate to use the word attack or think that Satan is behind every hard hit I've taken this week. A lot of the time, my mouth gets me into the situations I find myself in, yet something is different about this week. The bad stuff is so much more angry. Like its dripping in malice. The encouragement is sweet and slips into my heart with soothing gentleness. I know from Whom that is coming.
8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
proverbs 30:8

you're getting slammed because satan knows who you are and fears you.
you are an image-bearer of God. you are His daughter... and He's pretty protective of His little girls.
