This is going to be difficult.

I haven't posted simply because there hasn't been anything to post. We have been in limbo for what feels like forever.

In the stillness and quiet of this arduous wait, I know God is with me. I feel His presence, in a way I've never felt. Almost like a warrior, standing guard next to me as I sit and just remain. And I need a warrior right now.

One thing that is painfully obvious is that if you're going to do God's will, Satan will come at you full force. No holding back, the attack is on. It's sneaky and mean, fierce and persistent. So, since October, I've been under the shadow of His wing. Sometimes moving away from His protection, living with the assault. But, the key is recognition. We have a long road ahead of us. The battle has been raging for a few months, but it's really just getting started. And that's not only okay, that's exactly where I want to be. Because it means I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.

This life is not meant to be easy. We aren't meant to be content with the simple and mundane. We are meant to live for the glory of the Lord. And there just isn't anything easy about that.
