(This is Day 16 of write 31 days series. Click here for the title page )
She felt empowered and ready to take on the direction she felt
the Lord pointing her to. Anne took a flyer for the Women at Risk rescue house
for abused women, and called them.
She is met with a
cheery voice who is thrilled to have someone call to inquire about the mission.
Anne quickly stumbles all over her words and spills out that she, too, is a
recovered victim and understands what the women have gone through.
The receptionist transfers her to one of the head
counselors. They are so encouraged to have Anne get involved with a couple
young women in particular. They schedule a meeting and an interview to screen
Anne before she can begin working with the ladies. Anne has a deep feeling of
peace over finally calling them, that God must’ve arranged things and just been
waiting on her obedience to make the call.
She has heard so many times that obedience activates God’s
grace. It was such a nice change to have something so positive happen in her
life.
Anne has known for a long time that God can use her messes
for His glory and give her a story to tell, but she hadn’t ever chosen to
believe it for her own life. With the way things looked now, Anne was certain
that God’s hand was directing her steps.
She just had to get over her feelings of inadequacy and inferiority.
Dear Uncle Savant,
I want to offer my apologies and an explanation.
I know we talked about Anne staying away from that place
that rescues women from bondage, but I couldn’t encroach on the prayer time she
had the other day because of the pair of heavenly guards that surrounded her!
I just don’t know what happened! I had her in my full grasp,
she was distracted from school with the book club, she was frustrated with life
and her path, she was still dealing with all the old memories I kept before her
about her troubled past. She was MINE!
I must recoup my losses with her! The second those blasted
hounds of heaven leave her, I will assault her with a heavy attack of fear and
doubts in her ability to help anyone. I will not rest until she backs off
from the rescue. I will make her quit!
I am going to ramp up her roommate’s involvement in her life
also. I can get her to choose them over what our Enemy is trying to have her do
with that wretched rescue. Every obstacle I can come up with I will place
before her so she feels defeated, thwarted, useless and inadequate.
I do understand what is at stake here, I will not lose this
much ground with her ever again, Uncle.
My sincerest apologies, please don’t report me.
I vow to
capture her once again!
Your nephew,
Sepitus
