I have been a \u201cWild Child\u201d most of my life until I met Jesus, my Saviour.\u00a0 I have had to deal with a lot of issues in my life.\u00a0 2 Bad marriages made me realize that everybody else cannot always be wrong, and I did some deep soul searching.\u00a0 I could not understand that I could love the Lord with all my heart, but still make such bad choices!\u00a0 I have had to endure a hard rocky road, but \u201cPraise the Lord\u201d He has been faithful. \u00a0Today, more than ever before I have reason to Praise HIM.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I have read several testimonies of Missionaries and Evangelists who have testified that they are still tempted in areas which have been a major struggle for them throughout their whole lives. I can add my name to that list, although I am not an Evangelist or Missionary.\u00a0 Recently I have been tried and tested, twice, in an area that had been a great weakness in my life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0I had come before the same temptation twice and the second time; I decided I was going to play my \u201cWild card\u201d and just \u201cDo it\u201d.\u00a0 When anticipating the request that was laid before me, my flesh said YES!\u00a0 My Spirit said NO!!\u00a0 I had such mixed feelings, there was such a war raging inside of me.\u00a0 What seemed like a simple \u201cNO\u201d decision, had me all confused and knotted up in a \u201cYES\u201d. \u00a0I guess these are crossroads that will be in our lives until the day we die.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Well, whilst saying \u201cYES\u201d but simultaneously praying, \u201cLord, I do not want to disappoint YOU!\u00a0 If this is a bad decision, please stop me from doing this\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0I\u2019m sure some of you are nodding your heads, as you have been in the same situation before.\u00a0 Anyway, after I said the prayer and woke up the next morning, I felt a calmness and peacefulness come over me.\u00a0 \u201cWhatever will be, will be, its all in HIS hands\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0I am not any better or more special than the next person, but, the day my event was about to happen, the decision was taken out of my hands, and then I knew\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026HE really does LOVE and CARE for me.\u00a0 HE is interested in my life.\u00a0 He cares about each and every decision I make, IF I ask, He will answer. He is so protective over me, HIS own, carefully guiding me out of the danger zone.\u00a0 Like a hen, just shuffling me back under His wing into HIS protection.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0He met me at\u00a0my crossroad \u2013 the crossroad of HIS decision and my acceptance thereof.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Today, when I think about the \u201csilly\u201d decision that had me up in a knot, I cannot believe that I even considered such a request.\u00a0 I was not even disappointed or angry that my plans had not realized.\u00a0 Today I realize that His word has come true in my life where He says \u201cWhen you are weak, I am strong!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Today, I Celebrate HIM for being the eternal presence in my life, helping me, supporting me and guiding me into the path HE wants and protecting me from myself!\u00a0 Today I celebrate HIM being my KING, my FRIEND, my lover and my STRENGHT, My Yeshua!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.<\/strong><\/em> Philipians 4:11-13 NIV<\/p>\n
