Rule #11: Make moves. Danger Warning Caution...it's for the Better

So this is the second time I've asked. And it's no easier than the first...but, I prayed that the Lord would remove from my life those that are dangerous to me or bringing me down.

I started out accepting. I knew that folks would be weeded out one way or another-just like last time....but then I tried to hang on to a couple of them, just like last time. The ones I tried to keep that God was distancing actually worsened the relationship ties with those people and I burned bridges by being too forceful for the friendship. Weak sauce. I came across as desperate and insecure, which is a difficult person to trust.

So now I'm more involved at church, I don't drink more than one when I'm out (which is honestly not a change), and I feel refocused. And focused on me and my relationship with God-I know what I'm capable of and want to do, so I'm in a better place already! BUT because I was off the narrow path, I'm behind...I have a lot of catching up to do and D-Day is December 7th. The day of the LSAT. My goals are set high, and I want to please my Lord as he leads me with strong hands.

I'm so thankful for my faith. Everyday. To realize and correct it is the best feeling too, a sense of overcoming being lost is evident. I'm happier and more confident in what I do because Jesus is with me and I'm accepting Him again.

Thank goodness.
