Wouldn't you Know it?

I'm telling you- if I didn't know I was in a war, this would wake me up! Here's my discovery for the week- everytime I talk to someone about fighting off sickness, The Enemy attacks! Just so you know where I'm coming from, After my blog 8 days ago, I started a full out battle with sickness! Just like the last time I spoke with someone about fighting off sickness (and the time before that). Hmmm.

Sounds like my beliefs get a little too close to home, so Satan comes at me with a huge one. I fought valiently (I thought). I kept it at bay for days. Then almost immediately after I finished my sermon Last Sunday, it hit me like a ton of bricks! My voice is a wreck. I ache all over. My throat hurts and my head feels bigger than some people think it is! Wouldn't you know it?

I went to the doctor yesterday for some medicine, then spent the better part of the day in bed; probably will today as well. And I started to wonder if I should ever talk about fighting off sickeness again! "Maybe if I keep quiet," I thought, "I'll stay healthy like I have for the last few years." I mean, this is two illnesses in as many months. BUT! Don't worry- I know better! If The Enemy has to come at me this hard after I talk about fighting off sickness, then he is just helping me prove my point and I'm tenacious enough to stand my ground. I love it when I can turn the tables on him!

I'm not shut up that easily (as many people can attest)! I still believe Jesus' blood paid the price for my total salvation and I'm putting all my eggs in that basket.
