Struggles

It's been a tough week in my life, not complaining, just stating a fact. Joy and I haven't had a dance in a while, and I miss it, but through my family and friends, I am being shown that joy can easily be found in this week of "crying-worthy" situations. Which of course relates back to me "Finding Freedom." Maybe this should be titled "Finding Joy" Not changing the title though.

For the first time, in a long time, I feel like God and I are on the same page. I've changed my major and have committed to ten weeks of service in Oklahoma. These things of course are not making Mr. Satan happy. Can he ever really be happy?  Him and his bag of tricks have been used heavily on me this week. Of course, it takes a man in my life to point out that what I am dealing with is nothing but Satan trying to break me away from what I am supposed to do. With the help of him, and my Daddy reminding me of this scripture

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28 (ESV)

 for me to realize that what I have been dealing with this past week is nothing but Satan's tricks. 

Wrote all of that to say this: I hope that you too can realize that Satan uses struggles to get you away from the will of God. The one that has plans for you to prosper and have hope and a future! Maybe you too can find freedom and joy with that knowledge.
