Hey Guys!!!! So guess what?!?! This is my offical, very first blog…it’s sad I know…but honestly I had absolutly no idea what to say until now. I was a little nervous about posting some thing on here, considering how Awe-Inspiring everybody else’s post have been so far, but here goes.
So I have had to go through alot of growing up lately and I never realized how much maturing can actually be very painful. I’ve had to face alot of the sins in my life that I have been ignoring for a very long time, and thats never a pretty thing. Honestly I would have been perfectly fine if I never had to confront a single issue in my life, that just the way I am. So you can imagine how hard the whole thing was for me.
I knew I had to sit down and talk to God, so i figured there was no sense in putting it off any longer. I just sat on my bed and told God to go for it, to confront me of anything and everything in my life that was not pleasing Him and…. WOW!!!! I didn’t have the slightest idea what I was asking, I wasn’t prepared for the things He had to tell me, or i guess i should say the things He had to show me. I never realized how easy it was to get caught up in my own life and not even stop to care about whats going on with every one else. I guess what I’m about to say kinda ties in with what I had wrote on my note card the night we all prayed for each other at digging deeper, I wrote that I needed to stop being so selfish. Well God showed me that I was still being selifish and greedy with my time. Sure I proclaimed my love for Him, but was it really evident in my life.
It always hurts when you realize that you’ve wasted so many times and so many chances that God has given you. Nobody likes knowing that they’ve failed or they’ve messed up, but its a fact of life, we all mess up. But if you do what I did and run from that, never wanting to face or confront the truth than you are wasting the gifts that God has given you….. And thats so much worse. I am writing you all of this to say, don’t be afraid of being confronted, and even more importantly don’t be afraid to change.
