Under Attack

3 days left in our house.....Satan hates us.

He hates the plans that God has for us.

He hates God.

He hates to see God glorified.

He most certainly hates to see people give their lives to Christ.

Please pray for us as we are under MAJOR spiritual attack by the evil one who lurks around waiting to devour us. Don't think for a second that the enemy is going to let us leave or pursue Christ's plans for us unscathed.

Just a glimpse:
We returned from Appointment ceremony in January excited about what God did. Our entire family comes down with a nasty, nasty virus, the night of the appointment ceremony (half of John's family had to miss the service and Parker vomitted all over me at dinner), and upon our return home, Ally contracts a weird virus in her hip (toxic synivitus) that sends us to the ER and knocks her off her feet. The stomache virus did not end until it kept us out of church for 2 weeks so that we could not share what the Lord was teaching us.

The week of our yard sale we were trying to pack and prepare everything to be sold. Two of our children had 104 and 105 temperatures throughout the week. Once again, we were out of church for 3 weeks and could not share what the Lord was teaching us.

A week and a half ago we went to a marriage conference. God did some amazing things in our marriage and we came back so thrilled and excited. Since then....

A vomiting 13 month old (is it a virus or an allergic reaction from immunizations?), a 3 year old with second degree burns on his hand (crying all night) from touching the stove, a husband who hasn't slept much in over 3 weeks b/c of massive allergies - day and night, and I'm recovering from knee surgery with a major pinched nerve in my neck that hurts constantly - especially at night. Oh yes, and we are trying to finish packing, crating, moving and raising 4 little ones simultaneously.


Are these coincidences that every time something MAJOR is happening in our lives sickness seems to prevail? No, of course not!!!!!!!

Satan is very deliberate in his plans.

We are still rejoicing. We are still joyful. We still know that God has the victory! We are not complaining, but just very aware of the REALITY of spiritual warfare.

Satan will NEVER have the victory over Christ!!!!!

Please, please, please pray!
