Oppression

We are back to service and as expected the "enemy" is also working double time to distract us from the service. And he sure is a clever one! He just knows our weaknesses!

Just like in my case. This week, I got casual calls for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. But guess what, none of them pushed thru! Arrgh! Wednesday, I didn't have anyone to leave the kids with. Thursday, last minute it was cancelled. Friday, they called a bit late, 8:30am, and I didn't hear my mobile ring. I was actually surprised because when I get casual calls within the day, usually they ring at around 7 to 7:30am. It was unusually late.

To make things worse, when I returned the call this morning and I was redirected to a voicemail, after the usual greetings, I said "what's up?". After ending the call, it dawned on me, what did I just say?! "What's up?" Hello?!!!!!! I COULD HAVE DONE IT BETTER! I could have said it in a more professional way! Now I'm wondering what her reaction is when she gets the message! "What's up?!"

Just letting some steam off.

I am just thinking these are merely oppressions. The "enemy" knows where to hit us but I'm clinging on. I know things will be better. My God will be faithful as always. I just have to believe and continue to do His work!

Amen!
