Dearest Friends,
Last night, my heart was wedged in a battle. I was attacked again, as I had been before, but this time it was much worse. I set in my chair, locked in my room, and listened to the pounding on my door. I refused to answer it, and if it had not been for the sign at my door to remind me what to do when I was afraid, it would have been worse. The sign reads:
When satan comes knocking:
Jesus, will you get that for me?
I knew where to turn, and where to cast my fear. Jerry once taught me how to over-come such evil, and it took several tries, but I finally won. I didn't think I could, but I knew my faith would win me out; it was all I had left. Recently, the eyes of my heart have been re-opened, and I am trusting in the Lord to do wonderful things... I guess it was that reason for which I was attacked, but now I know I must fight harder, and invite the Joy of the Lord into my heart for every minute. I was so afraid last night, but I rested well, because the Peace of God feel upon me like never before. I am getting ready to do something right, and if you all would, please pray that I might have guidance. I don't know how to do what I know needs to be done, but I am going to do it anyway. Yes, I may make mistakes, and it may hurt, but even if I mess up one thousand times, and I still end up in the same place, it was all so much more than worth it. When I am finished with what I am going to do, I would like to share it with you. Thanks in advance for any prayers. Even for you who don't pray, I ask you be blessed greatly.
-Anthony-

It has been nearly a year now since that post. I have come so far, but moved only feet. I will be short, and to the point. I now find myself doing God's work in a sometimes evil world. I've been hurt, beaten, cheated, cut, hit, cursed, bruised, laughed at, lied to, made a fool of; and I am still His child. I find myself in a remarkable place that I never would have considered. I work for the Fire Department now... Not quite the ministry I always thought of, but I know I still work wonders. I see it every day. Dear Lord, help me to relize that I can't win every battle I face at work, or at home, but with You, I will succeed. I can't save every life, sometimes not even close. Help me to know that intimantly. Amen.
