Interesting

Here I am. My first blog, as the title indicates, this should be interesting! I figured I'd start a blog to keep people updated on what's going on in our lives, without taking up a lot of room on my Myspace. So if you're here reading this, Hello!!! This first post will be very random. I have lots of things on my mind right now.
First and foremost, I want to say, in the event that I post something on here that you, the reader, don't agree with, please don't start up a debate or arguement. That's not what I'm here for. However, I will be speaking quite often about my faith, and my God, just to let you know ahead of time, that way if it offends you, you can choose to erase the web address and not come back, or you can continue to read and hopefully be touched in some way. Anyhow, with that said, let me vent for a moment.
Let me say this. The devil is R-E-A-L. For those of you who don't believe that, let me tell you a little story. My husband, a big, strong manly man, has, in the past (meaning, before I met him) suffered from anxiety attacks. He eventually got to the point that he could tell when they were approaching, and overcome it. Well, here in the past month or so, they have been trying to sneak back in. He wakes up in the middle of the night screaming, has terrible nightmares, anxiety during the day and so forth. About a week or two ago, on a Wednesday night, we had prayer for him at church. We prayed for God to give him the strength to overcome these anxiety attacks, and mostly, for whatever foul spirits that were trying to come against him, to be bound. So, after that, he's been feeling pretty good. God is awesome! Then, last night, as I was laying on the couch, he says "Did you see this paper I got in the mail?" He brings it to me, and what it is, is a paper from a "research" group that is doing research on people with anxiety to try all these new meds and such. Now, mind you, we haven't signed him up for anything, or even mentioned this anxiety to anyone except our church. How sneaky, I thought. My first thought was for him to just trash it. Then as he walked toward the trash can, I thought, "no, burn it." So as he was searching for a lighter or a match, (which is difficult to find in our house since we don't smoke!)
another thought filled my head, and I know it had to be from God. And all at once I said "Noooo....don't burn it, bring it to me." Of course he wanted to know what in the world I was going to do with this paper. "I'm taking it to church" was my response, to which his was "you're WHAT?!?!" "I'm taking it to church, and I'm telling everyone about it, then I'm going to leave it on the altar for God to handle." Hmmm. Not something I would ordinarily say. Very interesting to me, the way God sneaks in. And also, even more interesting to me the way the devil sneaks and and tries to convince my hubby that he needs "help" with his anxiety and he should be a part of this group. I said all that to say this, I BELIEVE in Satan and his evil ways. I believe that if you give him an inch, he'll take 10 miles. I believe that he uses ways we'd never even think of to sneak into our lives, and if we're not smart enough to realize it, he'll destroy us. We have to be aware of things at all times, and be able and ready to fight should the need arise.
I said this was going to be a random post about lots of things, but this one thing has taken enough room for now. I'm going to go do some house cleaning before I have to go to church. Thanks for reading, and come back soon for more crazy ramblings!!!
