Thus saith the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for on these things I delight." Jeremiah 9:23-24

Burdened
So this is kind of random...but not really. But there is a subject matter that, due to my experiences and time spent in the woman's basktball world, I really feel led to write on. It's a very cotroversial matter and definitely one that a lot of Christians don't know how to deal with and aren't properly equipped enough to address in their day to day lives. And yet, it's widespread and it's only getting wider in our society by the second. Please please, if you think of it, pray that the Lord would force me to sit and really pen down my thoughts on this. I feel a great burden to share what the Lord has taught me in His word and worked out in my day to day experience the last, say, 5 years. Were it not for the grace of God, I wouldn't even be able to breathe, let alone know His truth, so glory to Him alone. It is incredible but also there is a heaviness to it. But He definitely has called me to take a stand on this matter and I just simply don't know where to start. But duh, the only way to do it is to actually take the time to be still and write and start putting it together cohesively. Sounds easy. But it hasn't been for me. Pray for clarity of thought and for obedience to His word and not to my experience alone. His word trumps my experience everytime. There is also a great deal of study that must go into this, as I need to dig below the surface and the Lord needs to further equip me so I do not become a loose cannon. It is quite daunting when I think about it, but again, I am burdened. May the Lord have His way. I know a lot of people caught up in this sin and I know some people who know people who are caught in this sin and have asked me to please write some of my dealings down so they may be edified and equipped.
