Don't Let Satan In Your Home!

I made a huge mistake today. I was weak and let evil thoughts fill my head about my marriage. Not like I wanted to leave my husband or that I thought he was unfaithful or anything like that. In fact, we weren't even fighting or anything! It started when I took this "quiz" to figure out my "love language". I heard about this from a girlfriend at dinner the previous night and got curious on what my results would be on this quiz. When I took it, I realized how my emotional needs were not being met. My husband, although he is a wonderful, Christan man, was not making too much of an effort to make me feel loved, appreciated, etc. I really began feeling sorry for myself. I was at my girlfriend's house and began crying to her. Poor me! Although my feelings were valid, I should have cast these thoughts away. At that moment, I didn't identify them as Satan trying to get his foot in the door. And, now hours later, I can look at the situation objectively. I know he waited for that moment of weakness when he knew he could get me. My faith is stronger than this. I know Christ is shaping and molding me and my husband EVERYDAY. Why did I fall into this trap? I know things will happen for us. I just have to be patient. It's not going to all happen in my timing. God's timing is perfect. He knows what I need. When my husband is not meeting my needs, I know I should look to my Heavenly Father to fill in. He is enough to sustain me! Satan really has clever ways to bring us down. I made a conscious decision to rebuke my negative thoughts and move forward. My husband was coming home soon. I didn't want him to know all this happened today. After all, he didn't even do anything. I went right on making dinner and when he got home, everything was ready. We ate dinner, happily with our four beautiful children and enjoyed the rest of the night together. AMEN!
