Be strong?

I'm standing here again. Another decision to make. Do I do what I wish, and feels good? Or do I do what I know will hurt, yet in the end will be the better choice? You may say "It's so obvious!" Easy for you to say, you're not the one suffering the consequences. My hearts real desire is to do as my Savior wishes even if it means denying my best and dearest friends. In the end no matter how bad it feels now, I know I did right and that my sweet Jesus is proud of me. 1 Cor. 28:20 "...be strong and courageous and do the work. Don't be afraid or discouraged by the size of the task, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you..." ~Luarie~

If it was something that was distracting you from Christ, then way to go! That's the Holy Spirit at work in your life! :)

If you need to talk, I am here.

I agree, even if it was me. I wouldn't really assume though, I guess I trust that you would tell me what you thought I needed to know and that you wouldn't tell me the things you thought I shouldn't.

Short of drawing counsul from me, you can still draw on my encouragement and edification. You know I have so much faith that you will reach a point where you don't normally even think of needing to talk to somebody because you're desperate to have yourself validated, but rather you enter conversation wishing to give strength to others. There is nothing wrong with where you are.......I'm just saying that I have faith you will grow to where you want to be. Through submission.

With as much of God's loving nature as I can manage for you, my friend, Wesly
