I've had a contentious relationship with my health most of my life. I get that I am way better off than a lot of people. I'm not trying to complain. I was thinking about it because I went to the doctor today. I'm feeling sore and exhausted and in general I don't like it when I'm not doing stuff I should be doing. Today is a not doing stuff kind of day and I'm physically and mentally uncomfortable with that. I generally feel my worst when I'm trying to improve myself. Now that I'm working out to lose weight, My hips and joints are hurting all the time. This is what stopped me before. Some days you feel like trying to do the right thing carries worse consequences than doing what's easiest.
The most insidious part of spiritual attacks are the doubts that sound like your own voice. The things you whisper to yourself in the privacy of your own mind. The difference between the truth and whats true is so subtle. I'm an uneducated, overweight woman with health problems. All those things are true. It's not the whole truth.
I know the whole true vs truth and my health issues are a common theme. I may even be repeating myself. Sorry about that.
Oh I feel like that all the time, if I let myself - I totally agree with you about it being a mind game. Satan wins too often! But I am very proud of you and excited to have a friend like you. You know I think fondly of you all the time.
