Got the Cat by the Tail

Thoughts, Prayers and Words of Encouragement: The past few days have been so incredible. When Bonnie left again a couple of weeks ago, we had decided it would be best for Prince (the dog) and Marshmallow (the cat) to remain together...they run, swat, hide and sleep curled up with each other all the time....so we did not want to break their great friendship. So it was decided the best choice was they stay with me in the Bay.

In addition to that, I moved from the house to the Ballfield...a wonderful transition actually with one BIG exception. Marshmallow hates the trailer...the limited space has disrupted "the boys" daily romping and exercise program of tearing up the house...hahahaha.... Most of Marshmallows opposition to the trailer would occur during the night while I was trying to sleep...You may be getting the picture.

After 2 long sleepless weeks, I was irritable, tired and exhausted....the worst I have felt in 2 years of Disaster Relief...so I called Bonnie and said the cat has got to come to you...or I will be in the SPCA asking for a kennel for ME :) So we progressed to make all the arrangements to send Marshmallow flying to Bonnie.....(hang in there the end is coming :)

As I prayed throughout the day, the Lord dropped in my spirit that the whole cat thing was spiritual warfare....the enemy was tormenting the cat in order to reach me.....and WOW had he....so I began to pray and PRAISE....now the end of this long short story...

Marshmallow has curled up in a ball and slept peacefully the past 2 nights....it has opened my eyes again to the fact that the enemy will stoop so low to try and torment and distract us from all the wonderful things that God wants for us....I think that the steal, kill and destroy thing is applicable to JOY, PEACE, LOVE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, and the list goes on and on...if he can distract us from the all the GOD within us....then he seems greater...UCK...just like taking the cat by the tail...

Thank you Father that you are so good, so loving, so kind that You continue to teach and make me more aware of how much You are the commander and chief and You know what the enemy is up to ...help me to always be asking YOU WHAT'S UP...so I do not waste so much time on the cures that do not bring life....love you di

Amen, Sister! Man, what a disastrous three weeks it has been in our house. Everywhere I turn, people are ANGRY with me and letting me know it! Weird, out of character stuff. I am ready to run, run, run from one of my favorite organizations right now! I had arrived at the same place you did, that Satan was just running rampant and amuck, all in an effort to get us to turn on each other, thereby nullify any good that could be coming from where we are. I hit "delete" on my email and told Satan to basically kiss my behind, that he was NOT going to rob me of some of the most precious friendships in my life, and I will keep fighting for them. I'm with you, girlfriend. "Our battle is not with flesh and blood"...or fur!

Love you much.
