| breakthrough? |
While I was posting some of the Campus Target blogs tonight, I came across an idea in one girl's blog that stuck out to me. She mentioned that often times we have the most intense times of spiritual attack right before a period of spiritual breakthrough and victory. The enemy often senses when God is preparing to do something great and tries his best to thwart the plans of the Lord. And I wondered, perhaps that is what is happening with me lately? Maybe the reason I've been feeling so oppressed in my spiritual journey is that Satan senses that God wants to bring me to a new level of relationship with Himself.
I hesitate to post this, because it's only speculation and really just thoughts at this point. It's possible (probable, even?) that I'm just lazy and that's why I've been feeling like this. But this is a place to write my thoughts ... and these are my thoughts. So, criticize and judge if you want to! This is me. :) |

A lot of times when I feel that I'm just being lazy, it's actually rooted in a lie (blatant Truth Project reference). ;-) For example, with my job search, I've been feeling lazy for not really doing a whole lot to try and change the situation. But, I've also realized that I've been feeling SO discouraged about it! I look around at all the people I know and think, wow; they all enjoy and are good at what they do, whereas I don't feel like I measure up. The feeling of discouragement and that I have nothing to offer creeps into my thoughts and before I know it, I'm defeating myself before I even start.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that it seems more likely that you are being attacked. I'll definitely pray for you! :-)

Em - I can identify quite a bit with this post and the one a couple back. Not sure what it is either, but I don't like it and can't quite get out of the funk. Will be praying for you - God will see you through, just hang on to Him and link arms with other believers, they will help hold you up!

Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
