Must be doing something right.

So, after my blog post from a couple of days ago, when I made the post about going on a mission, some interesting things have come about.  Let me just say that I can just the lord of darkness aka the father of all lies coming after me.  I can just tell that Satan is trying to mess me up in whatever way he can to keep me from doing what’s right.

Personally, I take this as I sign that I’m doing something right, hence the title of the entry.  I mean, Satan wouldn’t be coming after me if I was doing what he wanted me.  I would think that he would only try to tempt people who are on the strait and narrow to leave it, rather than those who he has firmly in his grasp.  This whole thing has made me think that the first time I tried to go on a mission, it wasn’t the Lord’s will, that He actually wanted me to go later and it was Satan trying to get me to jump the gun prematurely.  When I tried the first time, it was just too easy.  I had everything laid out, and it fell right into place…until it all suddenly came crumbling down with no mission call.  This time, I can tell that Satan is actively opposing me in my efforts to serve a mission.  He’s pulling out all the stops to try to keep me from preaching the Gospel.

All this just reaffirms my testimony that God lives and has a plan for each one of us.  It also tells me that Satan is among us and seeks to destroy our lives, take our agency, and separate us from the presence of God for the rest of eternity.  I hope with all my heart that I will be able to serve a full-time, proselyting mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and tell the world of all the things that I have learned of.  Whether they are willing to accept it or not isn’t my greatest concern.  I merely wish to proclaim the word to them, so that they can choose for the themselves.
