At work this past week we found out that our medical insurance was going up in price and there was going to be a change in benefits, for the worse.  Now, you could say yeah that is just the state of our health care and you would be partly right, but the main reason that our churches health insurance is going up in price is because of Riley.  So, in this meeting I knew that when really no one else did and even if they did know it they weren’t thinking about her or blaming us for the situation.  However, through tears I apologized and thanked all of our amazing staff members and pastors for sacrificing for my family and my beautiful daughter…….

Later that day I was walking to my office when I heard a staff member turn a corner and make a comment about how much money he would have to pay now for doctor bills, I immediately thought that he was talking crap about me and my family.  I started getting really upset and formulating a response to this person if he were to ever say anything to me about the situations.  I mean I was going to reference so many different situations which would have showed this person how unfair his feelings were and how wrong he was for feeling this way…..Then it happend my phone wrong and it was the staff member.  I was sure that he was getting ready to tell me how unfair the situation was for him and his family, but what I heard was so much different then what I expected.  He told me how he felt like I should not have even apologized in the meeting and that it is out of my control and that he loves me and my family.  He then went on to tell me how he thought insurance in America is so jacked up and that he is glad that he is able to help my family…..I was speechless

See what I learned in this is that satan wanted to take my own insecurities and concerns and turn them on me.  He wanted me to condem myself because of our situation with Riley and also get angry at my friend who didn’t say anything at all.  He wanted me to let my mind run on all the things that I thought were said and get offended….Satan is a punk who is looking to do nothing more than destroy us….Watch for his schemes
