I'm just like Rebekah. I know what the outcome should be and I hurry up the process by trying to do it my way. I'm learning to watch and wait on God. <BR/><BR/>About my past. My twenties were self-fulfilling and luke warm and I regret wasting those precious moments on mediocrity.DA Wagnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098172047531144621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815730195673353006.post-52865152295586320812007-05-31T11:48:00.000-07:002007-05-31T11:48:00.000-07:00Wow.

But really, I'm allowing myself some sort of internal scale of acceptability. I think that might be one of my deceptive scheme. I convince myself that I'm not like those people, trying to set myself apart. Meanwhile, I really think God doesn't have a sin-scale, a set of numerical values assigned to each sin. Thus, in reality, my deception is no better or worse than the next persons. And here I am, the quintessential Christian double talker. Amen, Christina! Thank God for grace, for sure.<BR/><BR/>I try to call myself out on my mess ups when I pray, because I believe that we're to confess our sins. But doing so publicly is a much more humbling experience.Sohl Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837935838864594565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815730195673353006.post-54525228719459544632007-05-31T09:30:00.000-07:002007-05-31T09:30:00.000-07:00Though I too have had a pretty wild past, I did fu...Though I too have had a pretty wild past, I did fully give it to God and live with the peace of knowing it has been forgiven. It took a few years to quit thinking about it. Now, I have a DEEP graditude for the grace God has given me. My tears then wear of shame and guilt and now they are of thanks and appreciation. During first wednesdays and worship on sundays I very often cry my eyes out singing to God. Having had such a huge request for forgiveness for so many sins, I have a TREMENDOUS appreciation of forgiveness! I too feel called to steer other women from the same pain.<BR/>ElisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815730195673353006.post-9099232098460159422007-05-31T08:48:00.000-07:002007-05-31T08:48:00.000-07:00Whoa!

I discussed these questions between me and God with some detail but you guys will be getting the more censored version. My past sins involve the old cliche "sex, drugs and rock & roll". In my late teens and early 20's I was caught up in what the world thought was cool and exciting. Looking back I realize it was the most miserable time of my life; full of emotional pain and suffering. My life is so much more exciting and fun now but with an overall sense of peace. I still emotionally struggle with my past sins and have to give it to God on a DAILY basis. THANK GOD FOR GRACE!!! I wish I can change my past but since I can’t I have used those experiences to try to steer young women away from the same fate.Christina Ketchumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10842626470572200122noreply@blogger.com
