And so it goes
"Well, I resigned today."
Another day, another failure.
My favorite verse in the Bible is Mark 9:24, which ends with the phrase, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" That pretty well sums up my spiritual journey. This blog is for recording my thoughts, ideas, insights, struggles, battles, blessings, stumblings, hopes and victories on my road to salvation. Oh, and just random life stuff, too.

Way I see it, you won. They lost. A weight should have lifted. They're stuck in place while you move on with God. Enjoy.

No judgment here, bro. Rest. Peace.
Sam,
I make no judgments about what and who is still my church. As I said, the fault is entirely mine. I am not sure I've "moved on" so much as just moved, or more precisely, "shed".
Jeff,
Thanks for that. I have enough self-judgment as it is so I don't need any help. :o)
I've been in a lot of good "places" in my life, and a lot of bad.
I would never give up the good places. I wish I could be rid of the bad.
The thing is, I've often thought about the good places, and how I got there. And always, I've arrived at the good places by the exact paths I took, good or bad. I would never have had the things I've had, and they've been many, without traveling those exact paths.
Today I'm in a bad place. But I know from experience that there's a path out of here to something good. And whatever that something is, I won't get to it unless I travel from where I am, through to where I'm going. And I know, from experience, that when I get there, I won't want to give it up, and I'll be glad I took the path I did.
So it is with you, my friend. You say "another day, another failure." Maybe. Maybe not. That's for you. But wherever you are today, you're going somewhere good. And when you get there, you'll be glad you took whatever path got you there.
I know that from experience.
Another day, another failure.
Yep, me too. And yet another chance to throw ourselves humbly at the feet of Jesus and admit it.
Without His grace, we're nothing. He alone is our sufficiency.
Aaron,
Thanks for that, my friend.
CH,
Amen.
