Those Thanksgiving Memories [or] How Have Things Changed?…

November 24, 2005 | 1:07 AM

A link back to last year’s Thanksgiving post.

I was thinking. I’m not sure much has changed, really. I’m still doing what I did then. Still wishing I didn’t. Being 100% honest, there are times when it’s hard to be thankful for the change that God is doing in me when it seems like it’s not happening. Thanks, Blaize, for reminding me of that.

Such a downer, I know.

But there are a lot of things I am thankful for. God’s financial support. The graciousness of our brothers and sisters coming to Edgewater’s aid. My family being able to bring in old friends who lost everything when Katrina washed their Long Beach home away. My brother and his wife coming over. The speedy rebuilding of NOBTS. What God did for me through Jesus of Nazareth.

But God hates sin, and I hate sin, and I don’t understand why I still have to sin if we both hate it. Why does this change take so long? I grow weary of this evil within me.
