too early for football

I don't know why I caved in and got a ticket for the game today, but oh well.

Here's the thing: I came to the realization Thursday night (with the help of a friend) that the reason I was feeling so down on Thursday and vulnerable to Satan's attacks is because I must be doing something right. That's an encouraging thought. I am getting attacked because I'm doing something right. Goodness.

Joyful is not the word to describe how I've been feeling, though it should be! Satan knows exactly how to get me. Good thing I know exactly how to resist, even if I don't always do it. Hooray for grace.

I have a feeling I'll be suffering for a long time. I know so many people who get excited for Project when they apply, and then afterward, when Project actually comes closer, they don't want to go anymore. Of course that's Satan. What a douche. I hate him.


"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
- 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
