Satan is an Ass

Thursday was a rough day for sure. For most of the day Satan was in my ear whispering get mad at Sara B, get made at Sara B and would not stop. Along with that was a very strong feeling of being completely ignored/tossed aside, which was completely false and was not coming from me. Along with fighting that, I was trying to study for my test on Friday and was not able to concentrate because of what was going on inside me. I even tried going outside to fishing/have quiet time and pray while in the boat and that was not working so finally I went to the weight room to play some NS to get my mind off of everything and that finally helped. I prayed that night and the rest of the week was good. I talked to Sara B on Friday about Thursday and Satan being all in my face and she said he has been in her face a lot lately which didn't make me happy at all. Sunday I skipped church to go spend an hour or so in the woods praying and talking to God about what has been going on and for Sara B. It was a really good time and before I got up to leave I asked god what verse he had for me today and just opened my Bible and there was Jonah 2:2-9

"In my distress I called to the LORD,
and he answered me.
From the depths of the grave I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.

You hurled me into the deep,
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
swept over me.

I said, 'I have been banished
from your sight;
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.'

The engulfing waters threatened me,
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.

To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you brought my life up from the pit,
O LORD my God.

"When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, LORD,
and my prayer rose to you,
to your holy temple.

"Those who cling to worthless idols
forfeit the grace that could be theirs.

But I, with a song of thanksgiving,
will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
Salvation comes from the LORD."

Just what I had been experiencing lately and needed to hear. God is amazing. Always remain vigilant in watching out for the devils schemes and know they can never succeed against the LORD Almighty, God be praised. ~Semper Fi

Yep, I'm Not Dead

I was trying to do more studying for my tests, but I am really distracted and the information is not sinking in. It is kind of pissing me off atm. Maybe cause I got too much going on in my head right at this moment to focus enough to study. I am some what tired but I think it is mostly just feeling ignored by Sara B because Bethany came for a surprise visit for her birthday, but at the same time I am not being ignored so the cause is Satan trying to put wrong thoughts/feelings in my head, so I am having to fight him off constantly. He has been after my quite a bit this month and I am getting tired of it. The last couple of weeks especially when I am tired and don't feel like doing much on my computer Satan is right there with the desire to go look at porn, so I have to tell him to go away in Christ name and walk away from my computer, because there is no way in hell I'm going down that road again. Seven years was much to long the first time. So that is what is going on with my spiritual life at the moment, war time. Life is good though. As I mentioned above Bethany got in yesterday evening and the look on Sara B's face was priceless, lol, makes me smile and laugh just thinking about. Sara B and I have started working out together this week and it has been enjoyable, I have been sore pretty much all week. Monday we did legs, Tuesday we did arms and Wednesday we did sprints and today we were supposed to do should and back, but since Bethany is here that's not happening, I am kind of bummed about not working out, but I understand. Sara B and I have gotten to go riding quite a bit, which has been wonderful of course. Tomorrow a whole bunch of us are going to Georgetown for catfish and that will be lots of fun. I have been so busy with school and working and homework, it feels like all I do is work, school, sleep and that does not make me happy. I am pretty sure that after I finish my school the coming year that I will be moving to Texas around Dallas or Abilene for a couple of years while Sara B finishes school and then after that I may be off to Montana or where ever Sara B decides to go to grad school for her doctorate, but it all depends on where God want me to be, which atm I feel is Texas for a few years and the to Montana. I think that is about it for now. ~Semper Fi
