For the last couple days it just seems that every time we turn around something else is going wrong. Then today I realize that I’m about $500 short of what I need to move and we’re suppose to be moving a week from today. Then tonight while boxing some things my wife notices water dripping from the ceiling in one of our daughter’s bedrooms. After checking to see if it’s raining, and finding that it’s not, I grabbed my ladder and rushed up into the attic to find that the drain hose to the furnace was stopped up. While working on that, I dropped my hanging light and popped the bulb. Then my flashlight went out. Lot’s of fun. But, Praise God, I got it.
A month ago I would have just called a repairman because I know nothing about these sorts of things. But when my dad came up from Texas last month he got on to me for that. He said that if I was going to pay a repairman, I could at least try and fix it first. The worst case scenario would be the exact same as the beginning, I’d have to call a repairman. So, Dad, if you read this, I actually fixed something!!! 
But now I sit here a couple hours later. I just finished bathing and am fixing to go to the police department to work as a computer consultant for a bit as we take a new dispatch program live. I sit here and I’m thinking… I’m thinking about how when you try to do what you feel God leading you to do the devil will try and cause as much trouble as he can to sidetrack you. And it seems the closer we get to this move the more the devil is throwing at us. But you know what? It ain’t working. We’re not getting sidetracked. Every time something has gone wrong I just go to praying. And so I sit here thinking… thinking about the first part of John 10:10 which tells me what’s going on:
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy
Then after thinking about what the devil’s up to I sit thinking about Romans 8:31:
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
And then I proclaim, devil, bring it on. You want a fight? You’ve got one, let’s go. Some will say I’m asking for trouble. I say I’m tired of being on the defensive, tired of be reactive to the devil. It’s time to be proactive. It’s time to take the battle to him. I guess what I’m saying is…. IT’S GO TIME!!
