I am just feeling it on this Easter between the baby coming, starting a new career, coming back to Christ etc. this place helping me SO MUCH with my life.
It just sucks knowing I won’t have the time to contribute to this place anymore with the baby and going back to school.
Despite my last post I can’t leave here without confessing a major sin of mine. I have shit talked some of you beyond appropriate context. I have been hot headed and I am not proud of it. One of the things I am heavily working on fixing because I don’t want my daughter to see me like that.
So again I know things get passionate on here and heated so if you had an interaction like that with me I wanted to issue an apology if I went overboard. As I am becoming closer to becoming a father I have understood that I should speak to people how I would want them to speak to my daughter.
I am 32 years old and still learning about life. And I can’t leave here or come back to this place without addressing it.
Happy Easter and we will win because THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT WIN.
I have sinned against some of you and I apologize. God bless you.
Noted and respected.
I've seen you do what you're talking about and thought poorly of it. But your positive contributions have always outweighed the negative.
I pray with certainty that you continue to grow in Christ, as a man, husband and father. The path will grow narrower and the change will come.
As an illustration, I am a father of a young boy, who was born right as I discovered Christ. God is good, Amen. I was, and still can be, prone to a harshly judgemental attitude, and rash verbal outbursts on occasion. Like you, I realized my flaws and prayed and acted on changing them through the Spirit. I saw how I effected my son through my behavior, and knew, from my own upbringing, how it would proceed if uncorrected. God filled me with the word, and I've come closer to generalized peace, and deal with any frustrations more positively and productively now.
I remember specifically the following verses speaking to me on this:
Matthew 12:34
" O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."
Matthew 12:36-37
"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
I cited KJV just for you. 😉
Take care of yourself, and realize you've already won.
Thank you for giving me grace brother. Something about my wife going into the 3rd trimester has started to change me a lot.
God bless you.
Blessings to you and your family, brother.
