Tests..I hate tests...I feel like I am in a test at the moment. I mean I am not really going throught a great trial or testing time at the moment---its more of a everything is going great and then something happens and now I am discouraged. I feel like I want to cry. I wonder WHY do I do the things I do. I wonder...should I do things differently. Then a dear friend and a roommate reminds me---Satan is trying to steal your joy. I am happy and content about my life. I am glad to be single, I LOVE LOVE my job, I love my students, I love having a roommate....but Satan doesn't want to see me in the Lord's Will. Satan wants me from being happy and content to discouraged and wondering "should I really be dping this."
I will not let him steal my joy....as the song my mother taught me...
"If I had a little black box to keep the devil in I'll take him out and smack, smack, smack and put him back again."
BUT BEST OF ALL...a wonderful reminder...
THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH
Thank you for this reminder. :-) I truly enjoy your blog and seeing the Lord working through you. Have a blessed day.
