Hey all,
This is an update on my life, for those who actually want to read about my life. Once again, I find myself not with the guy I told you I was with, but single again. I totally thought he was the one, but God said no. I backtracked on the whole realtionship, and from the very start, God was cautioning me. Did I listen? Nope. I followed MY intentions, MY feelings, MY heart, and totally blocked out God, and my parents. I totally disobeyed my parents also. Yeah, I'm 21, but I still live under my parents roof, and abide by their rules. And now, since I didn't do that, I am paying the consequences. The bible tells us in Hebrews 12:9-10 "Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in His holiness." It also says in Ephesians 6: 1-3 " Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor you father and mother'- which is the first commandment with a promise- that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth." Oops, totally didn't do that. SO, I'm being discipline on both my parents terms, and on God's. Yep, I'm sort of tearing myself down. 1. I've hurt someone when I didn't heed in God's word 2. I've hurt my family 3. I've hurt myself. My parents have told me that I can no longer have a dating type of relationship with anyone online, and they watch me like a hawk now when I'm talking to someone that they don't know. And I'm 21! I'm writing this, updating, and also telling the teens and young adults who come to this thread- please REALLY listen to what God is telling you. Don't just go on your own terms. Listen also to your parents. Yeah, they still get on my nerves sometimes( does that ever grow out of us?), but they are older, and have been around much longer then you or I. If they really didn't care about you, would they heed warnings to you? I'm also going to really want on God's terms for someone, not my own. Thanks for reading my book
