This was my prayer as I cried out with tears and a hurting soul last night at midnight for all of my imperfectness, all of my mistakes, and for all the ways I'm a screw up. <br><br>The topic of seeing "ministers" of the faith in such a brighter light than I see myself in Christ has been in my thoughts a lot lately as well. It was just a few days ago that I sat back and thought of all the people I know in ministry and some of the things that caught me off-guard. Like the missionary who recommended several books for which I had previously chosen never to touch due to discernment, and when I mentioned my concerns to her, her eyes got big and she felt embarrassed and admitted she had never practiced such discnernment for those books but just gone with "feelings" and trusted them since they have some verses and say "Jesus" a lot. I was so shocked because I had held her up on a pedestal... and you know, that wasn't fair to her.<br><br>Your story in this article sounds very similar to mine, though my husband and I didn't become pregnant (God's choice), we struggled with the same temptation and gave in premaritally. We were married 3 weeks after my 20th birthday. I will be 28 next week.<br><br>It's encouraging to know there are others with such similar feelings to their circumstances. Thank you for sharing.<br><br>MelissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400013362999368442.post-75038384301529099732012-07-19T03:58:21.819-07:002012-07-19T03:58:21.819-07:00Thank-you Cassandra, I am most definitely praying ...Thank-you Cassandra, I am most definitely praying along with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400013362999368442.post-44402808710107911522012-07-19T02:51:51.703-07:002012-07-19T02:51:51.703-07:00I am also guilty of being a harsh critic of those ...I am also guilty of being a harsh critic of those people I put on that pedestal!
