My step-father's birthday is coming up. It's this weekend. I don't know what to get him!!! What should I do.
Dave and I just got back from Bowling Green yesterday. I graduated there 7 years ago now. It's amazing what you remember and what you forget that happened 7 years ago. I couldn't remember exactly which room was mine in Rogers Hall - but had flashbacks and memories of very sinful situations that I had put myself in. I don't know why things like that come up in my memory so easily sometimes. It seems like such a lifetime ago - that I was that person - someone who had no dignity for herself and did anything for pleasure, to feel excited or "loved". I can't even imagine, now how I could have done such things. But yet I can easily be put in situations now where I can recall things that I did as if they were a vivid as a memory from yesterday. It bothers me sometimes - I thought I was no longer that person, I thought those things WERE worlds behind me, I am a new creature in Christ. I have learned though that when things like that come up - I use that opportunity to Thank God for who I am today, for His forgiveness, goodness and mercy that has come in my life. I I thank him for resoring me and then I pray that God takes away those memories for now - so I don't have that sin in my immediate thoughts. I know He'll bring those up again - so that again and again those things from my past can be used for God's good and glory!
Bless you!
I encourage you to ask God to show you his goodness and mercy in all situations.
God Bless,
Kara
