grow up

This weekend I decided it was time to pull the van out of the water. I told her that I couldn't take her to prom. She was pissed. Sooo pissed. But i know it was the right decision. I can't be with someone who is unequally yolked.

If there was a spectrum spanning east to west.

Crazy reliant on Gods provision, like John eating locust in the desert
-VS-
Working hard to provide for myself and being self sufficint (W/O God)

I am headed to the east.

she is headed east. but only plans to travel about 15 more miles that direction. that is because her motivation... her drive to continue is of worldly origin.

I don't know how far God will call me towards the East. But i know that unless my girl is willing to Go the whole way with me ... I can't justify tieing myself down... limiting Gods power.

I need to stretch my legs and run to the east... to the cross.

The world is behind me... no turning back... no turning back.

It's time i stopped blaming my failures on boyhood and began acting like a Man of Christ.

Good to read you followed your conviction! Sorry she was pissed, that probably wasn't very fun. All's well that ends well!

You are a true disciple, not just a follower. I bet you are making God smile big time. Way to go! I am still working on my mind matching my heart...but you have figured it out.
