This post, as well as the fact that you are able to share, and give other young people a much-needed warning I found very encouraging. These verses from Psalms struck me as along the line of these last two posts.<BR/><BR/>"When I kept silent, my bones grew old<BR/>Through my groaning all the day long.<BR/>For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;<BR/>My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.<BR/>I acknowledged my sin to You,<BR/>And my iniquity I have not hidden.<BR/>I said, 'I wil confess my transgressions to the Lord,'<BR/>And You forgave the iniquity of my sin."<BR/>-Psalm 32:3-5<BR/><BR/>Many Blessings ~ KathrinaBisceglia Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028034566292319657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175413200107279022.post-62425654340745053452009-03-23T13:08:00.000-07:002009-03-23T13:08:00.000-07:00If that's truly the case.

I tend to avoid computers as much as possible, but when my sisters shared with me the things you were discussing here I knew I had to read them all for myself. Many of the things you've mentioned have been on my heart lately & I was greatly encouraged by your thoughts on them. Thank you for sharing your heart. I never cease to wonder at the workings of God & how happenings that may seem to us disastrous He uses for His glory. I am awed, looking back at my prayer journal, how God led me to pray for you and your family at a time when you needed it. I will continue to pray.<BR/><BR/>Keep sharing for Christ's glory!<BR/>KristaBisceglia Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028034566292319657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175413200107279022.post-49522793881328721082009-03-21T13:29:00.000-07:002009-03-21T13:29:00.000-07:00Um, wow Justin, don't make me cry :)...that was an...Um, wow Justin, don't make me cry :)...that was an amazing post...truly, amazing. You know, God created us who we are for a reason, why are there so many people who can't be satisfied with who they are? I mean, you find people who appear SO normal, and SO happy, yet, on the inside, they're torn. And, I yeaaaaarn for the chance to just, make them truly happy! 'Cause God's the only source of continual joy :)...it's been a week since I've woken up as a different person--i.e., I've had a smile on my face continually. And, that's who I really am..someone who smiles. Yet, it's like I covered up my smile, and only let it show to certain poeple...why? <BR/><BR/>A lot of the time, it comes down to self consciousness... yes, I'm SUCH a self conscious person, it's not always a good thing. But, you know, 1 Peter 3 says that our beauty should not come from our external self, but the glowing and unfading beauty of Him--that lives inside us. :) <BR/><BR/>I've halfway gone off subject, but Justin, thank you...your posts are absolutely awesome :), I'm lookin' forward to the next one. :) in Christ, emEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05443410725711492117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175413200107279022.post-30178226606785236582009-03-20T10:29:00.000-07:002009-03-20T10:29:00.000-07:00Thank you Annie.

It's really not me folks. God obviously wants someone to hear this message and I guess He wants me to deliver it! Which I'm willing to do. :-) <BR/>Thank you for reading though, and do pass this on to someone if you think he or she is struggling in this area. <BR/>-JKJustinKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602343352927536164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175413200107279022.post-70309502340896353272009-03-20T09:25:00.000-07:002009-03-20T09:25:00.000-07:00Wow, Justin!Everything you're saying is definitely...Wow, Justin!<BR/>Everything you're saying is definitely hitting home. It all makes sense and once again, I'm pleased to say that I'm thankful someone is speaking and translating and explaining these songs publicly, like this. <BR/><BR/>~CCorissa Tahtinenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08742515154389606557noreply@blogger.com
