STEP # 1
This step is hard because I really don't know how to start. I been looking at others first steps to see what they said. I guess I've been believing what people said or thought about me and not just how different and special I am. Believing "I Can" do things but with a temendous effort and patience I can learn because I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. I too sometimesdoubt that I'm worth anything but thats its the worlds standards, uh cause no body gives me a chance to do things, i guess rejection because one day when i was little at school we were supposed to do group projects and they wouldnt let mecolor because i did sloppy and they told me so i just had to watch. But I have been able to do things for the Lord so I see that I want to look at Gods standards. As I seen james 5:16 say "confess your faults to one another" I guessthats an issue of trust for me, cause they might gosspi aboutit and ive learned and still learning to vent with my Daddy and pour out my heart to HIM, but this secret sin stilll has me in bondage, I claimed victory but didnt realize it was a day to day and moment to moment surrender. I finally blocked it on the filter online that im not able to access a way to it. so its been about 4 days now and well no desire for it. I dont want it a secret anymore I want it to go away so it wont be a secret. This dark secret has to come into the Light and not hidden anymore. I know I know without a DOUBT that HE will indeed heal me not just physically but spiritually and emotionally. He has mended my heart much with not grieving over my moms death but with the coming birthday and Christmas it will be a challenge, I still see Deep wounded hurt and pai nwith anger from the past and I want to uncover them and bring them from darkeness into Gods Light I want to lay them at the foot of the cross and nail it there and get it under His blood.

People say hurtful things, which is sad. Especially children who do not yet understand. Perhaps the adults that do the same don't understand either.

I'm glad to see you are doing the study. Praying for you while I'm away.

Jesus loves you and so do I.

One day at a time Holy. Little by little things will fall off and realizations will come. Have patience and keep going.

Step # 2
First thing I want to say is that the Lord has put a scripture out for me, and I still have to apply it to my life.
Romans 12:1,2 1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God this is your true and proper worship v2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Hey I didnt know this verse was in the step .
So im guessing not to keep dwelling on all the negative thoughts and fleshly desires but to put on the Spirits mind and whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things. Philippins 4:8. THats what came to me.
I am learning not to harbor problems and just bring them to the Lord, althought letting go and letting God isnt easy I know it will lift some of the burden of weight off my shoulder.
Um this scripture:Commit to the Lord whatever you do And your plans will succeed. proverbs 16:3 makes me think that of the needing to move out so much, that i dont want to get in front of GOd and make my own discicions but rather surrender them to HIM and His will, so He can work through them and show me what HE wants and not my way.
Hmm again I didnt see that this step said LET GOand LET GOD!
Hmmonly thing i see on this one is that the enemy had me in fear and thought he had me but i trusted the LOrd that HE would comfort me knowing I shouldnt be afraid of the enemy and nothing was going to hurt me because he flees in Jesus name so whenever i have a bad dream now I just say Daddy hold me in your arms so i wont be afraid and i sddrinft off to sleep. i guess thats all for this step
