You know, it's a common misconception among new believers that once you 'get saved' life is just hunky dory. Well, I'm living proof that's as far from the truth as you can get. I mean, I got saved in March 2004, and I had an affair in December 2007. But I was 'saved'...how did that happen? Well, I began to listen to the voice of the enemy, not my Lord. This might sound really crazy to some of you, but I am grateful for that time in my life. Not because I enjoyed breaking my husband's heart and nearly ripping my family apart, but because I became stronger in my Faith for it. Through all of that, I learned how to hear the Voice of the Lord and how to silence the voice of the evil one.
Let me tell you, that experience and growth has come in handy the last few days. I've had a rough time and I know that without the Lord allowing me to go through past struggles, I would not have the tools and the strength to get through my struggles today. Sometimes it's not so easy to silence the voice of the enemy, but I am holding on to the victory I have in Christ. Thank you Jesus!
I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws. Ps 119:30
