The enemy is attacking my time management plan. As hard as I try I can't seem to publish my posts when I intend to and there are always distractions when it's time to read or write. What makes matters worse is that he is using my family as the weapon of choice. Issues only seem to arise when I'm at home. This post was actually written in my "down-time" at work and is being typed and published in the comfort of my new office, the bathroom in my bedroom. It is the only place where I cannot be interrupted or be an interruption. Just about all of my posts have been researched, drafted, and edited at work. I have essays, devotionals, and whatever was on my mind at the time all ready to be published when I get to my computer…at home. Am I being tested? Maybe. It's time to put my foot down and explain (graciously and lovingly) that during a certain time frame I would like to be uninterrupted (as was advised in my Time Management post).
The devil knows my reading and writing are my direct line to the Father. I feel closest to Him when I am studying Scripture and writing what's on my heart. Reading and writing have always been my outlets and my avenue of communication. When I'm happy, I write. When I'm upset, I write. If there is something I want to be heard, I write it. But now that I know that this is my gift from God, the one that fell from His grace, is now jealous and is trying to steal it from me. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!
+Prayer+
Father, I have hit a bump in the road. Lord give me the strength, the wisdom, the courage, and most importantly the grace to tell my family how important the work You assigned to me is. Put Your words in my mouth to explain to them that it is time for You I ask for without interruption. Help me make them understand that this is our time together Lord and it is precious to me. I am so grateful for the gift You have given me and I thank You for using me to glorify Your Name. I rebuke the adversary and his tactics in using my family to get between us, in the Name of Jesus!
+Amen+
