Little bit of a problem
Well hello everyone. I just wanted to say that I have done something that i wish i hadn't. But then agian who hasn't? I did something that I promised myself I would never do. I believe that God allowed me to be in this situation so that I might learn a valuble lesson. If anyone has any comments on how to get over it, let me know?

Heather, I know it is difficult with personal issues to keep confidences and such like. But I think you will get more response to this if we know a little more about what it actually is that you have done and how you perceive the damage.

Heather:
I trust that you know the "little bit of a problem," and, for me, it's not necessary that you reveal that deeper truth here. My judgment is that, as a Christian, the Spirit is convicting you properly of what transgressed in your life. One of the greatest parts of my sanctification is the way that the Lord uses my past to sharpen my eyes for the present; in other words, how not the cast stones at others for things I've done myself.
In making the promise to yourself, I encourage you to expand that promise to the only One it matters to: God Himself. Take the circumstances of what's happened to him in prayer, in confession, and in repentance. Share the details (all of them) with another Christian (woman) that you trust deeply. Confess it to her as well. And be open to the work of the Spirit as God enters into this situation to show you what it is you are to learn.
As I've learned from experience, most of the times I have to "get through it" before I "get over it." And that journey, guided by the hand of Christ, is always worth whatever it brings to me and my heart.
I pray this helps. There are good men and women in here who may offer different points of view. Be open in mind and heart and read and listen to what they have to say.
What are we doing?
