Born Again


Well, where do I begin. I've been home for three days, and my heart is terribly broken. Everywhere on my right, left, in the front, in the back...is destruction. Satan has really been having a good time in Ft. Wayne...Last night at the mall, I was appalled that girls of such a young age were hollering at boys in their 20's and forcing themselves on them by their flirtatious ways and ((even in freezing weather)) small clothing. It broke my heart even more to remember:: I was one of them.

Satan has begun his work at placing thoughts in my mind of, "It's OK to take just one sip...no one will know"..."Oh, what is one drink? You had so much fun, remember?". It's so easy to get discouraged. My mind races with thoughts-but then God always places a calming touch on my mind, and He reminds me He's rescued me from all of that. He is my redeemer. He is my Savior, best friend, my Father, mother, brother, sister...he is my lover.

He is more and more apparent every new day. On Friday I had prayed to God for a blessing that I didn't know when or where it would be, but he knew my heart's desires, for HE is the one that placed them there. Sure enough to my surprise, the next few hours...He blessed me with exactly what I prayed for. The one who blessed me, said that they had been prompted by God three days before I prayed the prayer. It was amazing to me...just how awesome he is. I didn't pray for the desire in the moment that he prompted her to bless me. Three days later and HE blesses me. It's truly amazing how even in the little things, he wants to bring me flowers. He is truly the one that is glorious. It is so silly when people read the Bible and don't believe. How can you not? He is the wind in the air, he is the smile and laughter in a child's face...he is the love between lovers...he is the Father in my dad...he is so much to me.

Well, we wrote quite a response to find it wasn't accepted as we hadn't signed up. What a hoot; we know so little about all the computer and cell phone can do. =}We do know they can be terrible temptations, for just as with pornography, it can be covered up too easily.

Really like the song you posted, and the way you use words is outstanding. It sounds like you're writing an open journal. We trust it's a help to have this blog. You're an incredibly special person; we look forward to watching you as you walk the Way of God - the ever present way to truth vs. that of Satan - who is ever lurking to find out how he can slip us up. We'll keep you in prayer.
