These past few weeks..
Okay.
Life lately has been filled with so many blessings that I haven't even been opening my eyes to. Yesterday in Sunday school Sister Sherrie was giving Sarah and I the funny examples of your life before being saved, and then after. Well, she was talking about [as an example, of course, HA!] how before she was saved she smoked pot and had sex with one, two, three people, they had big ol' orgies.. And I was just laughing because Sister Sherrie says things SO bluntly; sometimes you just can't help but to laugh. What's worse is that I know this goes on in the world. Then after she was saved, being around those things just didn't have the same appeal as it was did. Well, I've had several examples of that happening recently, but I hadn't paid any mind to it. Well, I noticed it today. I was in Baton Rouge with my uncle and grandma, and against my better judgement, I went into Spencer Gifts. It's a gag store, but I hadn't been in the store in so long that I had forgotten just how vulgar it is. I used to LOVE that store. Now it's just gross, and it makes me want to vomit.
The Lord has kept me, and I am so happy. He's keeping me from old habits. For example, I'm SO stressed right now. Inbetween school and the parentals and money and just everything, I haven't been able to sleep; excessive amounts of my hair have been falling out; in class I find myself just anxious and almost depressed. But ya know what that is? That's the Devil trying to get me down, but ya know what? I've got God on my side, and He'll keep me from going back to my old ways.
Also, yesterday in church, after Mr. Brian's sermon, he got everyone to come to the front to pray for those having extremely rough times. Well, we were all in a circle, and he got Sister Rose to go because of her recent foot surgery, Sister Spornia battling her depression, Sister Leona for personal issues.. And out of no where he gets me to go in the middle, as well. I was shocked. It's just because when people ask how I'm doing I usually just give them the generic response of "Good".. Flash them a fake smile. Most people never suspect anything because I've gotten good at hiding myself from others.. And it just literally amazed me, and baffled me, when Mr. Brian said that I don't say much, but I do deal with a lot. And I forget that I've told him a lot about my parents and what I've been through.
On New Year's, now that I'm thinking about it, I did something I definitely shouldn't have. I allowed myself to be influenced by my "friends" to drink. I should've left, but I didn't. And trust me, that was the first, and the last. Of course, I repented, and it's no longer weighing heavy on my conscience. But it did. But anyways. Oh, well, I have to go. I'll edit later..
