So today the Lord really knocked me over and woke me up...this is a summary of what happened today:
that im just so tired of being who im not and being where im not suppose to be, and dealing with my mom and all the others that don't support me and all the other irrational thoughts they have, and i seriously was like alright Jesus, I'm done messing around with you and being scared and letting that hold me back...and I'm like arlight lets do what needs to be done, b/c you have been knocking me over the head, its time to seriously move on and stop just sitting here waiting for you to take over, b/c that's not going to happen, i HAVE to take the next step...so...TAKE ME JESUS....meaning I surrender...and I'm gonna be movin' along now...no more of this...im scared, and all the devil's foolish thoughts dragging me back farther and farther
So I've already emailed my SD/VD and told her what happened...and told her I'm ready to get the move on....and ready to take the next step. Prayers are welcomed.
God Bless,
Ali

I knew, based on some of the thoughts you've been having over the past few days, that all this was going to come to a head. LOL

I'm so excited for you! Praise be Jesus Christ!
May He be forever praised, Ali. I will keep you in my prayers. Let me know.

Yippee!!! That is soooo awesome. You've certainly gotten enough prodding around here, haven't you?

I'm so happy for you.

Congratulations for taking the steps...that's often why many people don't become a religious because of the steps involved. Prayers for you!!!!

none of us knows the future and we all have uncertainties or lil worries (and our families/friends can sometimes add to this) But like Mary our FIAT is without reserve and a total trusting of the lord and just place ourselves in his arms and GO, You are taking the steps to do just that, and I am SO happy for you, and I pray our lord will bless you abundantly!!!
