WARNING: This blog is being written by a tired person...

Yup. Let's just get that out of the way - I am tired...and I'll admit it, a little cranky as well. My shoulders are heavy with situations that are top secret and can't be share with anyone - except the Lord of course. My heart is heavy because I want there to be some way that I can fix those situations - but I'm helpless. My mind is exhausted because it's been running 100 miles an hour trying to figure these things out - to no avail. And in the midst of that I can feel satan's attack in a huge way. I know he's after me - I can feel it.
He's making a huge attempt to divide me and some of the people that mean the most to me. I can feel my heart being tugged - there are thoughts going through my mind that would never normally be there. I don't know how long this will last, but I'm praying it all ends soon because it's really heavy. I love these people -they mean the world to me. They are my support net - my family in Christ. Don't jump to conclusions - that doesn't mean that I'm having "church problems."
Nothing could be further from the truth - God's blessing the church! He's moving in a huge way, and everyone - well, most everyone - can see that. He's doing something that is out of my league, and it's a privilege and honor to even have a small part in it. And I think, just maybe, that's why the enemy is so up in arms against me right now. I need the prayers of my family, the family of God, right now more than ever. I need you praying for me. Please pray for me.
And some will ask why I blogged this. Why couldn't I just keep this to myself? It's just this simple: that's not the way I work. When my heart hurts or is heavy, I need to write. And when I need the prayers of God's people, I will ask for them. It's as simple as that. And I do - so I am.
Not all of this blog is "down in the mully grubs" though. Today two angels of God were born at Baptist Hospital in LR. Both twins weighed in at just under 3lbs and are about 2 months premature - but they are alive. And the brand new, first time parents are elated with their new family. And for a moment today my heart lept within me knowing that I had been in the vicinity of a miracle of God. And I'm reminded that even when we're in a valley - the Son still comes up!

That's just a thought - and I welcome yours.
