God is into details...

I'm up entirely too late b/c I just finished a paper for my Victorian lit class. God really taught me a valuable lesson tonight...besides the fact that procrastination may one day be the reason why I leave this world to be with him...I learned that Satan is subtle. I always thought it was going to be obvious when Satan attacked, but tonight he snuck in really sneaky like.

Picture this scene, I had been trying to work on a paper for about two hours with a plethora of distractions when Will calls trying to be sweet and encourage me while I work. I was to a breaking point and I couldn't even concentrate on what he was saying, so I was ugly and told him that I couldn't even hear what he was saying b/c I kept rereading the one paragraph I had meagerly typed on the page. I could hear the hurt in his voice, which made me even more angry b/c I knew I was being the south end of a north bound horse.

Still, I didn't see what God was trying to teach me. I knew that the theif comes to kill, steal and destroy, but I didn't realize that he does it minute by minute. God has been trying to show me to take one minute at a time, only I didn't realize that this was why. Tonight Satan took advantage of a few hours b/c I took my minutes for granted. He stole not only my joy, but that of the person I love the most in this world by using my frustration to blind me from the joy of a moment with my loved one. Geez. I really pray that God helps me to be aware of the little things...good and bad.
