Some have lasted longer than a couple of hours.<br />But once I get my bearings I eventually realize where I should be. <br /><br />I learned a long time ago it doesn't do any good to beat myself up about what happened in the past; I can't change it. I need to repent of it, of course, but I also need to move on, as Loyalist said.<br /><br />I enjoy your posts and look forward to getting to know you better.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05418779785748125429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006457410024132395.post-45041392053082071262007-02-06T08:16:00.000-08:002007-02-06T08:16:00.000-08:00I remember a couple years back I had a personal ap...I remember a couple years back I had a personal apostasy day... I didn't do anything either, but it really disturbed me. I guess I just have to remind myself that no matter what, God loves me -regardless of my thoughts, feelings, and actions, God loves me. Knowing that God isn't disapointed in us because of our weaknesses can be a tremendous strength. He expected us to struggle.Distinguishing Preoccupationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595180957813663545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006457410024132395.post-91227828304252044002007-02-06T06:54:00.000-08:002007-02-06T06:54:00.000-08:00Thrasius, do you have an email address?

We just pick up the pieces and move forward.<br /><br />my new knowledge tells me to acknowledge what it is but don't let your preceived failure to rule who and what you want to be. You are the determinante factor in this race of yours.

I know what that feels like as well. Last summer was a lot like that, and even now there will be little moments like that. However, I believe the sum of our desires is what is more important. Two hours of confusion and rebelliousness are not as important if most of the time you feel dedicated and know what you want. I really am enjoying reading your blog. I'll keep checking it out when I get a chance! If you get a chance, take a glance at mine too!l'écureuilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609034487632505827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006457410024132395.post-38778903099483352622007-02-05T18:38:00.000-08:002007-02-05T18:38:00.000-08:00Thanks so much Eric.

And I love your Churchill quote... so true, NEVER give up or yield. Hold the line my friend. As you so well stated, change is all around us. I have experienced those two (2) hour apostasies in my head a lot, but change comes and its over and I move on. We are all moving forward somewhere, let's hope it is in the general direction of the right destination. I am glad I found your blog. I look forward to more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
