Me, a Good Example?

I found out today that my youth pastor reads my blog. Something about that is so cool to me. I really never thought about anyone reading it. I mean, I know of 3 people who do, but I never thought anyone outside that ever did. It's really neat to know someone else does and actually likes it. So thanks to him for letting me know he thinks it's good. That means a lot.

I'm not sure if I mentioned in my "For Me" blog about getting saved, but I got saved with my best friend. Today I got off early enough to go to church and we sat next to each other. We ended up having a written conversation, it goes like so:

Me: Brother Mitch apparently reads my blog and likes it! He complimented me on it today.

Her: What does your blog say?

Me: It's about different things. Lately it's been about God and my thoughts on Him

Her: Tell me about it.

Me: My last post was how imperfect we are, how perfect He is and how I can't believe after all that we've done He still loves us.

Her: That's awesome...amazing is more like it.

Me: I just post when I have powerful thoughts about Him. I never expected anyone to really like it.

Her: I've still been having tuggings at my heart. I asked people to forgive me for my past, but I want to be saved tonight. This will be the LAST time I walk down the aisle. I want TONIGHT to be my second birthday.

Me: That's awesome! I'll be praying for you, dear. I love you!

Her: I love you, too!! It just needs to be settled.

Me: Yeah, after I got saved that Sunday, I really felt the devil trying to pull me away, but I got through it.

Her: What was he doing to try to pull you away?

Me: Like friends wanting me to go with them to do things that aren't right. But I just said no and passed the temptations. I haven't felt anything but God since.

Her: Wow, I want that...awesome. You're a good example.

Me: I just want to stick with God. He's all I want. Plus I think "If I think giving into the temptation is okay or will feel good, then think how awesome it will be if I don't and go to Heaven?" Heaven is far more amazing then doing something we know we shouldn't. My goal is Heaven.

Her: I'm still getting there. First, I need to get saved. Make it real. Then I can fight Satan and move forward.

Me: Fighting him will seem hard, but it's the easiest thing I've done. He can't get you if you have God, and he knows it. That's why he'll use everything possible against you.

Her: Amen, girl...preach to me! You have changed, and it's amazing to see.

Me: I'm glad I have. I like the new me.

Her: I do too.

It's funny, only a month ago, I was looking up to her as a Christian. To have it reversed seems strange. I'm not entirely sure why she thinks I'm a good example, but I'm sure if she reads this she'll feel the same about me looking up to her. She's an amazing person and I know with time and prayer, she'll get through this. Confusion is just part of it all. But God will help you through it. Trust me.
