Satan is a TOTAL dummy. Lo...Tiffany is SO right... Satan is a TOTAL dummy. Look at the people he is attcking... strong, AMAZING women of God like you and Tiffany. He hasn't learned a THING since the whole Job debacle! I'm so sorry you've been in a dark place. I pray that God will pour His light into your life. He is able to heal and restore, again and again and AGAIN. He loves your heart, and you continue to challenge my faith. Many prayers your way.Michael and Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939649486805979321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902460760697311730.post-49675166914999760572008-12-30T14:37:00.000-06:002008-12-30T14:37:00.000-06:00Thanks Mel for your kind words and prayers. I can...Thanks Mel for your kind words and prayers. I can also pinpoint three specific times in my life when Satan was very alive, and I didn't even realize it. Those times for me were when I was completely comfortable in my life--not exactly comfortable with my relationship with God. It's funny how Satan's attacks actually push me further towards God--Satan's such a dummy! I'd love to get together and chat sometime.Deaton, party of 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/05648169238928910603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902460760697311730.post-68424169093679118692008-12-29T21:46:00.000-06:002008-12-29T21:46:00.000-06:00So sorry to hear that you've been stuck in a funk....So sorry to hear that you've been stuck in a funk. I've been checking in from time to time and wondering if you were still trying to settle in from the move. Moving "back home" isn't as easy as it sounds. Perhaps you kept more connections up here, but I know I really struggled when we came back to town. I also know that left me wide open for spiritual attack.<BR/><BR/>And in reading this I am reminded that I continue to fall short. I had a goal this past year to read through the Bible completely, something I've never done before. Well, a month short of finishing my goal I just stopped -- I got too "busy." So, I see your post as another one of God's (many) reminders that I need to resume my reading. He's calling, isn't he?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06175340576811743560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902460760697311730.post-65245262349313291362008-12-29T15:26:00.000-06:002008-12-29T15:26:00.000-06:00I'm so glad to 'hear' from you.

Though I probably never told you and you were miles away it meant a lot. You are a fantastic person, and I am praying for both you and Tiffany.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696500904639103164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902460760697311730.post-5146852791799598592008-12-29T13:00:00.000-06:002008-12-29T13:00:00.000-06:00Melanie, I was just thinking specifically a couple...Melanie, I was just thinking specifically a couple of days ago about your "funk" and also about what you went through (and continue to) with losing little Ruby. I was thinking that not many women your age have had to experience a loss so deep or know from personal experience that bad things do really happen to good families.<BR/><BR/>Last night during one of the times I was trying to go to sleep, I prayed specifically for you...thankful that I had begun to see signs of your recovery from this recent "funk"...asking God that you would keep your eyes on Him and turn everything over to Him...again...<BR/><BR/>I love you so much but I know that God loves you even more and I have faith that He will continue to lead you out of the darkness and into His light.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it amazing how Satan attacks us when He sees us getting away from him? But even more amazing is the power of God's love and protection when we let Him stave off those attacks.<BR/><BR/>You are forever in my heart and my prayers, precious girl.<BR/><BR/>And, yes...I love Brandon Heath's music...especially "Give Me Your Eyes".Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120022765749057793noreply@blogger.com
