That's what I get....challenge the devil and he will do what he can to thwart you. It doesn't mean you have to succumb, but I may have last week. For seemingly no reason I felt ill and nauseated and tired. See, that's my weakness...malaise. When I'm being attacked, that's the first thing he hits me with. But I'm resolved to not let him get the better of me..or Andy.
Although I missed some classes last week it wasn't an altogether loss. It was my birthday last weekend! And my first one with someone to share it with! Andy did not disappoint, either. He continually proves to be this great guy who pays attention and listens to the little things. Andy got us couples sailing lessons because we had such a great time on our catamaran cruise in Maui. I took lessons when I was a kid and LOVED it! He also got us tickets to Jeff Dunham in January...my favorite comedian! And he got me a great digital camera. I don't mention all of this to brag but to marvel at my husband. His gifts showed such careful thought...he never ceases to amaze me.
This past week has proven to be a test of some sort in our walk as a couple. We have been chewing over some heavy spiritual issues and were anxiously seeking guidance and direction from the scriptures, from a trusted professor, and prayer. God did not disappoint! Today's sermon and Sunday school lesson (taken from Numbers and Romans respectively) both addressed the issues we were troubling over in a very tangible and freeing way. It really was fun to continually elbow each other all morning and to share our debate with our classmates. It was fulfilling 'the iron sharpens iron' concept.
God is so good. All the time.
