I'm taking a page from your co...@ Dragonfly (Hehe! I'm taking a page from your commenting book, this is easier to remember what you wrote.)<BR/><BR/>Thank you very much for the prayers. I have to admit I pooped out. With one thing and another this week, I just feel completely exhausted and stayed home today. Now, I feel caught up on sleep and have a chance to work on homework instead of listening to boring teachers, yay!!<BR/><BR/>I never would have guessed that you were into the party scene. That's amazing and so very cool that God pulled you out of that. Have you ever posted a blog about your testimony? If so, I'd love to read it sometime :)<BR/><BR/>But you are so right, those kids that think "When I have kids and get married, I'll get right with God/get my act together/figure it all out/etc." well, it's a dangerous way to live. I remember when I was younger I would tell myself that when I was older "I'd go to church and take my family there." Little did I know, God had plans for me to go to church WAY before that time (I can only thank Him furiously for that.)<BR/><BR/>God can work miracles, I must remember that. All is not lost, we always have hope in our Lord, Jesus Christ.SamanthaMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014350925739126236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749743653823436919.post-75904945107586463502008-04-10T10:41:00.000-07:002008-04-10T10:41:00.000-07:00wow, you have a lot on your plate. i'll pray your...wow, you have a lot on your plate. i'll pray your strength and endurance. <BR/><BR/>it is sad to see so many people spiraling into dangerous territory. i used to be in those dangerous party zones myself so i know just how seductive satan is. he makes everything seem fun and innocent and like it's ok because "we're young". i'm so thankful every day that God, for reasons i'll never know, had grace and mercy on me and pulled me out of darkness. <BR/><BR/>when i think of how many young people every day die in their sins, thinking they have all the time in the world to party and let it all hang out, and planning to get it together later...only later never comes. it breaks my heart. and it could have easily have been me. i don't know why God opened my eyes and gave me the strength to walk away. but i'm so thankful!<BR/><BR/>it scares me for my (future) kids too, because i want to shelter them from everything in the world, things i've done, things their friends may do. <BR/><BR/>we def. have to continue to pray. not all are lost and God can do the impossible!Dragonflysoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436773680124585575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749743653823436919.post-79277182287967587482008-04-08T20:07:00.000-07:002008-04-08T20:07:00.000-07:00Your first sentence made me smile because I know t...Your first sentence made me smile because I know the feeling. <BR/><BR/>You're right that it's sad what other people are doing these days, and then you can think of all the reasons why they would choose to drink or do drugs or sleep around. And they might say it's just to have fun but we know that's not the truth. And lately God's just being giving me the heart to pray for suicidals not just in Canada, or in the States, but everywhere. For God to save a life like that is gonna be a powerful thing, and that's cool!<BR/><BR/>By the way have you found out who was stealing yet?Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10214371661961664461noreply@blogger.com
