It felt like a challenge

 Today has been one of the worst days this year! It's Halloween and most of the population is excited about dressing up and getting candy. Me not so much. So I go to work wearing my pajama bottoms and this shirt. I believe satan took it as a challenge. First thing this morning at 4:00 I'm awakened by my child who informs me that she has been throwing up. She then proceeds to throw up for the hour I'm getting ready to go to work. Now mind you she just tested positive for covid. As it gets close to time for me to be leaving  she is starting to have a hard time breathing as she has asthma. I find her inhaler so she can take it. As she begs me not to go to work I tell her I must as there is nobody to cover. Poor thing is very sick as not only her body is fighting this but on Tuesday we had to go to Children's hospital and she was put on antibiotics to fight an infection she has. I proceed to drive to work and a giant buck jumps out of the woods and almost onto my car. I get to work and it's full throttle until the afternoon. Spent 3 hours with the boss trying to figure out meds and our med book. In between all this my bestie text me to tell me her husband and her had to put down their dog 🐶:( then after work I go to another besties house to walk her dogs. Do I walk them separately, no and what happens is one escapes the leash (which I don't know how that happened and the other pulls the leash out of my hand. They go running around the golf course and I am trying to chase them but end up getting chest pains. So I just give up and start walking back to the house. The dogs finally show up and come to me when I call. After all that I go to the home of an older gentleman I take care of to find out that the doctors have stopped radiation because nothing is working at this point and they pretty much can't help him anymore. Let me tell you by this point I'm over it and the day, but oh wait I have to go to Walmart to get the child medication that the Dr called in for her covid. Then I come home to call it a day. I should be sleeping but even after taking a 10 mg melatonin I'm wide awake. So yes I feel like satan took my shirt as a challenge. The bright side to all of this is I know My God is bigger and no matter what He is the Lord of all. Even though I felt persecuted, tried, attacked, overwhelmed, sad, hurt and a million other feelings and emotion I reminded myself whose child I am and who is in control. When God is for us who can be against us? So yes satan not today, not ever! You will not steal my peace, my purpose, my truth or my joy. Just sit back and watch what I can and will do when I walk with the Lord, talk with Him and seek His ways. Thank You for loving me and us that you sent your only son Jesus to die on the cross for us.
