For as long as I've "blogged," I've always assumed that I'm really the only reading what I've written.  Every now and again, I'll get a remark, especially after something controversial, but nothing I've written has been consistently remarked, especially since I have had a vice of making/breaking relationships.

But this post is a sort of description...of me...with one statement:

I am not the same person I was a year ago.


Things aren't true because someone asserts them: they must have proof.  And likewise, I give you myself as that proof.  Your prayers, if you had any for me in the will of God, have been answered.  In fact, read my posts from a year ago and you'll see.  Of course, I still struggle with things, but I'm not the same person.  God has changed me: I believe that with all my heart.

In the same way, I believe that God is faithful to do the same work in you all that He has done and continues to do in me.  I came back to this area and found that many people I loved were in bad situations--bad spiritually, bad emotionally, bad physically, bad socially, bad what-have-you--and I was crushed by that fact.  I asked God why, but I know this same work, the work of which I'm testimony, can occur in your lives if you let it.  Also, I know that conquering these issues will provide a clear reason as to why you are having bad experiences now.
There are specific people I could name, people who, without just cause, have become ensnared or trapped by the enemy, the world, or even themselves, but I won't name these individuals.  I just hope that you won't let past sins (whether yours or someone else's) destroy your future.  God has a plan for your life, a plan of victory, if you would take and make it your own.  Thank you for reading...
