under attack!

had a bit of a rough morning - got into a crazy fight with someone i really love, got a personal attack via e-mail form someone i barely know and then a very important announcement that i needed to get into the church bulletin was not placed there, even though i was assured earlier in the week that it would be.

i sat in the church pew with my heart pounding and my fists clenched - blood pressure to the roof. and the sermon was on forgiveness! sheesh - it was probably the best sermon our pastor has ever preached - if they had it on cd i would buy it - but they only have tapes. it was exactly what i needed to hear. i need to forgive those who have hurt me and just let the anger and resentment go.

so i feel much better now. i have reconciled somewhat with the first person, i am not going to respond to the second person and will deal with the person who left out announcement tomorrow.

today's chain of events reminded me that we are deifinitely in a war. we do not battle other human beings, we battle spiritual forces that are not visible to us - i am sure that today was part of an orchestrated attack by the enemy to discourage me. well - it didn't work - i am still here ready to go.

nobody's gonna bring me down. amen.
