Today is one I’ve been waiting to arrive for a couple of reasons. I’m going to meet with my prayer warrior this morning and that is always a treat for me. I never leave her place without having been given a better perspective on life and God’s purposes in it. How I love this lady! The other reason is simply selfish. I only have one appointment and it is later in the afternoon which allows me to have the day mostly for myself. Ordinarily that would mean I’d be outside in the yard but it is raining heavily today. So, I can go to a couple of nurseries and browse for the plants which are waiting for me to plant and enjoy them!

Last night’s testimony for our Celebrate Recovery was from a man giving it for the first time. He was raised in a pastor’s home and had a “great upbringing”–his words. Still, choices were made by him which drug him away from a christian walk. I have always attributed my sinful ways to an abusive childhood, sinful ways like pornography. Yet, this man struggled with this and his childhood had no abuse in it–just his flesh showing up. It made me realize my flesh showed up in me making me human just like all mankind is. Even though my childhood had abuse in it, I was still of flesh and I’d be tempted regardless and I had choice just as this gentleman did. It gave me a better perspective just hearing this testimony. God is never done awakening each of us and that includes me. I love this God of ours!
