On April 29th of 2007, I accepted Christ into my life. I've been raised in a Christian home from birth. And for the first month after accepting Christ, I was on FIRE... But honestly, aren't we all?
Once we come back from a church retreat, and we realize how much of a mess our life is, we smack ourselves in the forehead and tell ourselves that we won't let it get that bad again. But too soon, we find ourselves falling at the foot of His cross again begging for forgiveness and mercy. Honestly, I've reached that point in my life again. My life is so messed up. And you know why?
Because I'm trying to take the wheel. *face palm* The last time I tried to take the wheel, my grade in social studies dropped to a D. And I'm a straight A student. What a wake up call... One night, I broke down and I cried for hours, begging God to take my life back. He did, and practically the next day, I walked into school with my head high, and my grade went back to an A.
But I want to be the girl I was when I accepted Him. I want to be FLAMING for Christ. I want to be that girl. And not just for a couple of days after a church retreat. My life hasn't been easy. But God says that life won't be easy.
John 16:33 says: "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
My favorite thing about this verse is that it says you will have tribulation... Not, you might, or you will in this situation, but you will. Dang, that's terrifying. But He reassures us that he has already overcome the world... And that is all you need to keep in mind.
