ATTACK!!!!!

Satan is attacking me. He knows my weaknesses, and boy is he giving them a workout! Since I started this blog, it's been good. This week, though, is a different story. It started yesterday when Bruce's paycheck didn't appear in the mail and it should have. It has escalated to today. The kids misbehaved this morning, and my anger almost got the best of me. The kids went to the dentist, and I will be paying a large sum to fix Andrew's teeth. Plus, again, they misbehaved. And finally, again, his check did not appear in the mail. Hmmm...my top three weaknesses? Anger, patience, and our finances. Satan's hitting them all. I'm trying to be good. I thought about when Jesus was tempted, and how He responded (Matt. 4:1-11). The very first verse just jumped out at me: "Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil." He was led by the Spirit. So, the Spirit (God) goes before us into our temptations/trials. How nice to know that God is there already by the time we get there. When Jesus was tempted, He had knowledge of the Bible. He used verses to refute Satan. Gosh, I need to learn some about anger, patience, and finances! If anyone has any, please comment. On the last verse (11), Jesus tells Satan to get away from him. Can we do that? I think I'll try that one day! (o;

On a side note, I want to try and have a verse in every post, but I don't have that great a knowledge of the Bible. So, if I don't have a verse and you know of a verse that fits the post, please write a comment with the verse. Thanks for reading; I hope you're learning as much as I am!
