There WILL be victory!

This has been a productive and eventful couple of months. I have been so excited taking care of debt that has been weighing me down for what feels like an eternity. I’m gonna be honest and give you the numbers. In mid January, my debt was at $6,100. Yikes! So, I have been working two jobs to help my cause.

As I write this post it stands at $940. By my estimate if everything goes according to plan, it should ALL be paid by the beginning of June. I have learned so much in the process. My faith has grown and I am eager to experience true victory in this area. It really isn’t about getting from point A to point B, but all about the character development in the process.

HICCUP: A car accident on Monday has pushed my sweet success back another month. Luckily my insurance is taking care of the repairs and everything in between, leaving me to only pay my deductible.

I feel caught in the middle of a tug-of-war. I am trying not to worry about the finances and the damper it puts on my plans, all while worry creeps in. In the grand scheme of things, a month or two doesn’t make that much of a difference.

What I came to realize very quickly is the “tug-of-war” isn’t here on earth but in the spiritual realm. Satan recognizes victory in the making. No matter how big or small, he will do WHATEVER it takes to make sure that victory doesn’t happen.

The day of the accident I felt like a moving target. There were a couple of other near-misses that could have involved me and another vehicle or more. My nerves were raw and I was getting used to a rental car – a hearse is more like it. However, I had this nagging feeling that I had a spiritual target on my head and Satan was stopping at nothing to see harm come to me.

Here is what I know:

• The accident could have been so much worse; both parties walked away without injury and damage was only on my car.
• No mean words were exchanged and the police officer was really funny.
• My car is being fixed. No matter what financial burden this presented, I am still moving forward with the same goals to pay off my debt.
• I must be doing something right if Satan feels so threatened.

THERE WILL BE VICTORY. I am confident in God’s faithfulness and am grateful for His protection.

He is good.

He is all.
