Letting go...

I mentioned in the last post about having a hard time with my anger and rescuing... It did linger a little bit this past week. Every time someone mentioned him or I knew my daughter was talking to him, I got angry. I decided to share with a lady friend via email. She suggested I give him over to God. Man! Why didn't I just think if that? So simple. But very hard to do. I did pray for protection of the baby and my daughter. Not that anything is happening. Just did so to feel comfortable. So I did this with him too. Well I did this probably Monday, I didn't realize until Thursday that those feelings were gone! All gone! I hadn't thought about it or anything until the meeting Thursday night. It worked! I know how I am to handle things most times, but when it comes to giving it up or letting it go and let God, I usually need to be reminded! Her suggestion helped me so much! She also could relate having been in a similar situation.

This past Sunday we had a guest speaker at our church. He was excellent! He spoke on relationships, sexual issues and gave his own testimony. His story is pretty interesting. Anyway, I've not heard anyone speak so openly on sexual issues before. Of course, he did not do this at our church, there was a CD with an interview he did on those topics. Very good by the way. Nothing I EVER would have asked any pastor or minister - EVER! I will leave you with a link to his site. I think he's great! His name is Sy Rogers. I've not heard someone be so open about their past sexual history as he was in church. I've only heard that in meetings really. He did talk about acceptance within the Christian community of those whom we know are in lifestyles that are not accepted by the church. Basically, we don't know how to begin to share Christ in a loving and accepting way to those who are currently living in sin. Our approach is usually wrong. Instead of just trying to win a debate, we should just share Christ, not try to prove who is right! I got a lot out of this speaker this Sunday, and acceptance is just the beginning!
