The problem is that we DO......and very much so." We can't get out of our own way to let God rule.<br /><br />And thank you for reading and mentioning Roaring Lions. I hope you are enjoying the book.<br /><br />WarrenWarren Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956713921509659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996102970098047200.post-89322013653441070112011-02-03T22:22:30.691-05:002011-02-03T22:22:30.691-05:00TJ, thank you for sharing....and don't apologi...TJ, thank you for sharing....and don't apologize for the "novel"! What a testimony you have of God's Grace and Healing in your life! Feel free to write another novel anytime you like! :)Jill {Sweet Diva}https://www.blogger.com/profile/06469279886181595718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996102970098047200.post-5805150577722703062011-02-03T14:18:52.917-05:002011-02-03T14:18:52.917-05:00Hey you liked my page on FB so I decided to check ...Hey you liked my page on FB so I decided to check your website. I love that you're a Christian! I am also! And I am glad to have found a fellow Christian blogger! I read part of this post (I got to get going grocery shopping shortly, so I'll have to finish later). The part about the "I can't help how I am" idea reminds me of a deep conversation I had at college (I went to Pensacola Christian College in Florida). A guy-friend of mine was being rather mean to myself and several of our friends (like verbally) and I confronted him about it. He said he couldn't help it, that his parents were abusive so he obviously was too. I too grew up in an abusive home--my mom beat me, took knives to me, pulled my hair, called me nasty things and put me down...the list goes on. But I explained to him that I was not a product of this environment; I was a born-again Christian and what my parents did to me had absolutely nothing to do with who I am or how I behave. I explained that to him and he more or less got the picture and worked harder on being kind to others. Now, 6 years later, I have a son of my own. Do I intend to beat him and call him nasty things? Absolutely not! If anything the experience I underwent with all the heartache and sorrow has motivated to be the exact opposite. I will be a caring, loving, kind, considerate mother. Not that he won't ever get punished, but I definitely will not destroy him emotionally or physically. Sorry bout the novel! Basically just saying it's very good and I agree completely.
