Hey ya'll!!
So like as of Saturday August 30, 2008 I moved back home! Soooo excited! God has brought me back to the place where my heart has longed to be. I'm sooo thankful. The Sunday school lesson was on Being thankful and acknowledging God even in the small things (which as you can see by the last few blogs I've been trying to do) I am most thankful for God giving me another chance. I dont quite understand why he would choose me instead of a downright sinner. I was born and raised in this and I looked God in the eye and told him I didnt want him. Sis Karen used the analogy of a yo-yo. God allowed me to go so far but he never took the string from around his finger. He waited for me to stop rolling and and wandering and then he decided to give it another go. Soooo I'm very excited to be back among the saints and all. But pray for me ya'll because one thing I dont want to do is become common with my salvation. I refuse to have a form of godliness.
So yah! I'm Bbbbbbbbaaack! lol Still without a job but I know God is able. Be praying that I do what God requires of me and nothing less!
Love ya'll bunches!!

I'm NOT encouraging you to have a "form of godliness" but one hurdle you will have to get over is accepting that there are times in salvation when you can't go by feelings. Sometimes things are NOT exciting. (It's ALWAYS good to be saved no matter how we feel.) Sometimes things are routine. Sometimes those not-so-exciting times trip people up who have allowed themselves to be drawn away into a world that is always looking for "fun and entertainment" or other things that satisfy the outer man.
I've been saved for 45 years and my salvation is a treasure to me. I LOVE BEING SAVED, but there are times that have not been "high times" that I just had to hang on and keep on going.
Aw, sis.... I know how you feel. I left home and moved to Austin, Texas last year. Coming home was definitely a GREAT feeling. You don't realize just how special it is until you've left. Unfortunately when I moved home I was still unsaved, but God NEVER left me even when I was away from a church. He is faithful, even when I didn't deserve is longsuffering. Let's never forget the unhappiness sin brought! God is SOOO good- and like you said... This isn't just a claim of righteousness. He truly lives within us- WOW! How awesome is our God!!! We aren't saved because we live in our parents home and it's convenient! We have tried the road of sin and found it's prosects ALL DECIEVED!!! We've proved the Lord, and JOYS ABOUND!!! Thank GOD!! Stay encouraged- God is going to bless abundantly!!! We now have a bright future!! I love you!!!
