I'm so aware of the hypoc...That scares me to death! I'm so aware of the hypocrisy in (my own life especially) and others very close to me...and in people with authority over me. I have a vague inkling of wanting to give into the Lord but I realize my whole world is going to get torn apart and it's going to be so messy and people won't understand me as I follow the Spirit's leading- not to mention my flesh's attacks hindering the purity of my pursuit. There's a war I see in the distance...I have this desire to join in and fight for truth but it's so hard! I know children who have been raised with a fear of the Lord and they don't have as much flesh to fight against, or they're just more seasoned in standing for truth. I wish I could be like them. I'm only 22 but I realize that's 22 years of wrong thinking / living that's going to have to get straightened out. How in the world did you ever give in? When I realize all of the damage I've done to the Church by my misleading 'lukewarm' example- I see suffering upon suffering ahead of me 1)To rid me of my 'holy' reputation and 2) To sand down and clean out the sinful complacency in my life. I just wish I could've been more fearful of God when I was younger. How do you will and decide to follow His leading especially when nobody understands? How do you persevere? Also, do you have older godly women mentors encouraging you on? And could you just respond to me through e-mail please...I'd prefer not to have my info (age, name, email) out there but I want to share it with you so you might know how to help me!
