I was recently cooking some cookies and a cheesecake. The very hot cookie sheet was sitting on the stove cooling, and I was next to the stove stirring the cheesecake. I accidently set my arm down on the cookie sheet. I now have two long scars on my right arm. Everytime I look at them, I think of how stupid I was for putting my arm down. But, Im glad I have the scars because I learned my lesson!!! By now, most of you know where Im going with this!!! This is just like life. God has us go through vallies and trials, and He never lets us forget about that trial or valley. Theres one simple reason why He doesnt let us forget: He wants us to remember what we did wrong and not do it again. Im glad that God healed my wounds but left the "scars" in my life. I made some mistakes right after I got saved, and I, Lord willing, wont make those same mistakes anymore. A few months ago, I forgot about where God brought me from, and I started to stray away from Him. But, once again, He brought the trials to my attention and made me realize that I wasnt doing right, and I needed to get right!!! I have a quote written on the wall in my bedroom, it says, "Remember where you were, and who you are now, and where Gods brought you from!!" Ill never forget where Gods brought me from. He put me in a good, Christian home, He had me learn how to play the piano, He had my dad become the youth leader of our church, but just because Hes had me, and my family do all these things, doesnt mean that I was saved. I remember going through the biggest valley of my life. I had just been saved a fews months, and I was out of the will of the Lord. I was dating a guy that I shouldnt have been dating, and I was doing stuff that I shouldnt have been doing. I still have memories about what kind of life I lived then. I remember the cuss words I said, the ungodly things I talked about, and the people that I hung out with. It took about seven months of going through that valley for God to finally show me that I was doing wrong and I needed to get right. I was tired of living a lie. I was tired of people saying how "godly" I was and then going to school the next day and cussing. I was tired of it. I broke up with the guy a few weeks earlier, and I was sitting in my car at the Mexican place, and I cried out to Jesus, and asked Him to forgive me for turning away from Him. I havent been perfect since that day, but I sure have been blessed!! Just remember as you go through your vallies and trials that the Lord has a purpose, and Hell use it to His glory!!!
