"When it rains, it pours."
Why does it seem that life sends struggles in numbers; when the enemy attacks, he comes from all sides.
In 2 Samuel, the Israelite army is in this situation. The Ammonites have decided to attack. Not only that, but they have hired Aramean foot soldiers to attack at the same time from the opposite side.
It's never easy to fight a battle in two directions is it.
A girlfriend of mine came up with a great idea for a small group. There's no leader and no curriculum...just a group a women getting together to help each other through life's battles.
Joab, the commander of the Israelite army had the same great idea. He gathered one group of men to fight the Ammonites and sent Abishai with another group of men to fight the Arameans. Before deploying Abishai, he gave him this instruction, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to come to my rescue; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to rescue you."
If you are a college/20 somethings woman and you are feeling like your battles are coming at you from all directions, I would like to invite you to be a part of this new group. We will be meeting on Thursdays from 7-9pm. For more information, please email me at mrscmarsh@yahoo.com or contact curtis at curtis@elementweb.net
It's time to stop fighting our battles alone. I love you ladies and I got your back!
