Saturday – 12:30 am
Today was a very emotional day. I think it is my favorite day of my life. I am becoming a woman of integrity and learning to be vulnerable. I am learning through experience my identity must be in Christ. If it was anywhere else, today would not be the best day of my life. But it definitely was.
Over the last week or two, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower. The righteous run into it and they are safe.” has become an armor of protection for me. As has the teaching of Paul on spiritual armor. I am beginning to get it. As I walk into a situation where I will be vulnerable or living as Christ incarnate, I have started to say it. Not every time but at least the “high risk” times. Today it came to me without me desperately trying to remember it. I knew everything was going to be okay. I was “in Christ” either way.
Today I opened up to someone about some of the parts of my story that are my dirty little secrets I never talk about. I think they are probably close to the least appalling parts of my story to the average ear, but they are so hard on my pride. God, please, why do I have to talk about these? Why in public? I am so ready to have these off my back.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. – James 5:16
