No longer on a plateau…

Lots of things have happened in the last few days. I have enjoyed spending quite a lot of time with M, met her parents and sister and nieces, went out to eat with my parents, sister, brother-in-law, and nephew, at which point she met my family…

I like her family, they seem to like me. She likes mine, though I think my dad intimidates her a bit, and they like her as well! I feel really good about how things are going with us.

I feel like I am being attacked by Satan though. In times of quiet, he incites doubt. I am fighting off doubts that she is not interested in me, even though she has said quite a few times that she likes me.

Yesterday I went to look at a house in Mounds View. It was very nice. If I can afford it, I think I will be making an offer. It has an apartment built in to the basement with its own kitchen and bathroom. It’s pretty sweet. I have some pictures that I took that I will upload when I get around to it.

After I looked at the house, I went to my sister’s house in North Branch for my nephew Solomon’s birthday party (his 2nd birthday was the 25th). After the party, I went to church and then played hockey. Red Team is still undefeated! I got home around 1AM and went to bed.

I was asked to be part of the hockey leadership as a team captain a few weeks ago. I accepted and now I was asked to be a backup speaker if Don and Pat are gone at the same time. It sounds interesting, so I accepted that as well.

Oh, and Happy Birthday Grandma Berg!

    We do like M :) Be sure to tell her that dad intimidates everyone – it’s what he does, but he is also a real softy to the family. Shhh – don’t tell anyone else :D
    We are praying for you

    I just wanted to say I know how you feel. Ever since my life has been going so incredibly well (especially the last two weeks) Satan has been attacking me. I can feel it. He puts feelings of doubt, guilt, and fear into my head about things that I would not have those feelings about otherwise. Its crazy but its usually right when I wake up in the morning. I feel like he is getting into my dreams and trying to scare me away from my happiness with God. In fact, I know that is what he is doing, but I am not going to listen to him. He does it because he knows he is losing the battle. He will not win with us, and that makes him angry. Like I had a dream last night that I was in a war and they were shooting everywhere and I was in the open, such an easy target, pretty much waiting for someone to center on me and kill me. Now I know that is horrible, but I would never think of those things otherwise. Satan knows I fear death, (not as much anymore) but it was one of my biggest fears.Specifically, knowing you were going to die before you did such as getting shot or something. Well I know its not me thinking it, but its Satan trying to scare me out of trusting God when all it really does is make me pray harder and read longer! So I suggest doing those two things, pray and read and pray some more about God taking over your mind and not letting Satan in. Do those things and I bet your less likely to have so much doubt and fear!
    PS we like Meg too! Can I get her email so we can add her to group event things? Or would that just be wierd?
