So the battle for our souls is raging non stop. There is a real enemy out there and he is coming to get us especially once we have vowed to follow Christ and let Him take control of our lives.
4 months into my engagement and the battle is just getting harder. Our vow of purity seems dificult to maintain at times and its thru God's mercy and grace that we have been able to keep it. Emotionally, I feel like Im going crazy. Tempted to find a quick fix (anti-depressants) i struggle to keep my mind focused on Truth. Phillipians 4:8 couldnt of said it better: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. "
I find that dying to myself has becoming increasingly dificult, my issues and struggles with co-dependency tend to show its ugly head once in a while, coinciding with my hormonal levels. Yet, like Paul said also in his letter to the philipians, "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
Its amazing how many of our church family have come up to us and expressed their solidarity with us in this time of trial. They keep us in their prayers because of the great calling Jessie and I have. We dont know what the Lord has instore for us, all we know is that he has chosen us in his infinite grace and mercy to do his work.
