kaitie's prayer requests
Hey guys,
I hope everyone is doing ok this summer, I just went to my good friend's wedding last weekend and it was soo nice to see her and all my friends and family. Along with all the positive stuff that has been happening to me in the past few weeks I have also had some negative experiences too. Right now my family is dealing with a big issue that involves a friend of our's broken relationship, my mom and dad are really close to the people involved and they have a huge job of being there and saying the right words and admonishing and such so please pray for my parents as they are feeling like they dont have the words to say and they are in a place where they can really make a difference. (I hope that made sense)
I also havent had a chance to talk to Jillian about the salts trip she went on and I am really praying that it made some sort of difference in her life.
I have been struggling lately with going out and partying with my friends and right now I am trying to rise above the guilt and the dissapointment in myself. I have seen my witness to my friends dissolve over the past week and I thought that I was finished with drinking and that I was doing ok and now Im back where I started. Thank goodness for my roommate and my mom who have been talking me through this. I've learned that even when I think Im doing ok I still need God (I know it sounds like an easy lesson to learn) I was so proud of myself and so self sufficient and that is when I listened to the devil's lies. After all this mess that I have made thank goodness God actually wants me back and thank goodness that I still have some sense left in me to want to continue following him. Drinking is so empty and confusing and I hate it and who I am with it. Please pray for me as I am making some big changes, pray that I stay committed to following God and seeking his will in my life.
On a lighter note I have finally FINALLY found a church and I am so excited about it I cant wait to plug myself into a ministry and meet all the people in it.
I hope that you guys are all having great summers, Im praying for you and I hope I can see some of you in the near future.
We really need a reunion!!
miss you all soo much
love Kaitie

Kaitie- I am so glad that God's working in your heart, dearie...but I'm sorry that it has to hurt. Just keep reminding yourself that one day in His courts is better than a thousand elsewhere! I'll be praying for you, darling!
PS Which church are you going to??
thanks julie, oh im going to central baptist now, its sort of like the church i went to in surrey and its close.
Have you had any good Bible study adventures there? Hehe...anyway, I hope you find a place at Central where you feel loved and a part of the family.
I concer/love you katie. Remember guilt is from the devil. God forgives you so if your still being held back by guilt that's satan, and he totly sucks! Remember too one of the greatest things to witness to friends is Grace and forgivness! Hopefuly they'll be able to see that in your life! JESUS LOVES YOU SOOO MUCH!
Did I hear you say reunion?!?! I like that idea! And Kaitie I am sooooo proud of you. I just want to give you a GINORMOUS hug. You have no idea how much through your struggles and guilt you were able to encourage me. Love and prayers sis!
I love you guys, your prayers and comments mean so much to me.
