Day Six- a day late

Postby deafeningsilence » Sun Jul 10, 2011 4:04 pm

Yesterday would never have been a good day for me to type anything. I went off the deep end with my drinking and realized late last night that I had to be done with it or I had to be done with this. I can't do both. I can't drink myself into oblivion while still thinking of God or what He wants. I can't deal with the guilt of it. So that was my choice.... this or it from now on... I choose this. I choose possible freedom, happiness, and peace. I choose life instead of death.

I'm through with myself. Completely through. So God can use me for whatever, wherever, and whenever He wants to. My past actions have shown me that when I pretend to be god of my own life, I end up destroying everything around me or in my path. I need God to run my life, not me. That's it for now... Day seven will come later tonight.

I'm glad you chose God.

Just remember when you fall to apply grace. Get back up and get back at it.

His grace is sufficient.

You can do it!

Love you

theres a song someone sent to me not long ago..some of the words are:

We fall down, we get up.
We fall down, we get up.
The saints are just the sinners who
fall down and get up.

dont give up...keep seeking the Lord. He is with you. He is your helper, your healer, your redeemer, the giver of Life, the giver of Grace....abundant grace and love. One day at a time, one breath at a time...He will not give up on you. When you fall and fail, He loves you beyond it.

in Jesus,
praying for you. gotta song for you.....

love
momo *Halo*
