I have such a headache this morning!! And I very rarely even get headaches.

The kids and I went to a New Song concert last night. It was awesome. It was so reviving. I recommitted my life to Christ and it was a very emotional time. I’ve been saved and baptized. I know that I’m a Christian. I know that if I were to die at this very moment that I’d be in the presence of my Lord and savior, but here lately I’ve been slipping and just needed to remake that commitment to the Lord. It was a very special time for me. At the time of the invitation, I knew that I was being called…. But I hesitated until my mom took me by the hand and led me down. It was.…whew, tearing up now, it was a great feeling.

I was not raised in church; my mom and dad seldom went. My sister and I would go at times with a friend, but never went on a regular basis. It wasn’t until my parents divorced that my mom started going to church on a regular basis. At that time my sister and I both went with her. So, going on a regular basis started about 15 years ago. We’ve been a member of this same church ever since. This is where I was saved and baptized. This is where we still go to church, but have backslid quite a bit in the last year or two. This meaning that I’ve neglected my kids from church too. They started to ask, “Mom, why don’t we go to church anymore”? I felt guilty and we’d go the next week, and then skip the next 3 weeks. Until it’s now gotten to the point that we go once every 2-3 months. I hate this. I hate that I’ve fallen into this rut. I want out for myself and my kids… and I’m getting out. I am not only making a commitment to the Lord, but to my kids as well. They look upon me and it’s my responsibility to teach them/lead them into the right direction.

Once we got home from the concert, I cried half the night last night. Which I’m sure lead to this horrible headache that I woke up with. It was after midnight before I fell asleep. Greg and I talked for a while about what happened to me last night and I woke up this morning feeling refreshed. I am redirecting my life down the path it was once on and I’m not turning back this time!!

Thank you Lord for opening my eyes once again….Together we will beat the devil!!

Love, Karen
