Crabs in a Barrel
from Take the L | Word not World Hosted by WordNotWorld with AnnaMarie
I've been gone two weeks; finals had me in a chokehold and the whole time, life was coming at me from every angle. Financial curveballs, the car breaking down, school expenses I didn't plan for. Then a conversation in a group chat gave me this whole episode: we're all crabs in a barrel.......and the second one crab starts climbing out toward obedience, the enemy tries every trick to pull it back down. The ex who resurfaces after two years of silence. The friend who offers you the exact thing you just quit. The family member who says "you've changed" like it's an insult. And the bills that show up right on time to make you doubt God will provide. Here's the flip: if you still belonged to the enemy, he wouldn't be working this hard. Nobody breaks into an empty house. The attack isn't proof you're doing it wrong; it's proof your obedience registered as a threat. BJ sits in on this one too, with what still tries to pull him back two years after his baptism. The word this week is TARGET.
