Today is my second grandson’s birthday. He is a very special kid to me for multiple reasons. He is 20 years old today. He has a kind and gentle spirit for which everyone sees and loves.

I mentioned the counseling session I had yesterday in the blog I wrote yesterday morning. That session was confronting a father and mother by their daughter who has been coming for help the past 3+ months. She was sexually abused as a child by her father for a couple of years. She is now 41 years old and needing to deal with it. I had a picture in my mind of what needed to take place in the session, but turning it over to God for His picture to take place was amazing. The father and mother accepted their abuse and neglect and God’s Light was shed into this lady’s darkness abundantly. It was the surgery that needed to take place and now, healing can begin for a daughter and her husband, a father who has carried a load of guilt for years and a mother who knew but kept her despair hidden from daughter and husband. Our God is AMAZING!

Lastly, I need to come back to God’s work within me I’ve written about these past few days. I’ve needed to talk with someone about this issue that has been haunting me. It is the issue that I will likely need to carry the temptations of porn the rest of my life for they run deeply into my soul. Well, God is bringing forth within me a desire to fight for me–Earnie. I can be a warrior for myself just as genuinely as I can be for others. Not only can I do this, but I need to do this. This is putting God’s Word to practice when He tells us to love thy neighbor as thyself. This is a great awakening for me!
