Back in Time

Do you ever listen to a song or a whole CD and it brings you back to a specific time in your life? Good or bad. I do. The CD is Rise Against-The Sufferer and the Witness.
Every time I hear that CD, it brings me back to almost 2 years ago. It just does not feel like it was that long ago. I was going through a time in my life, you could call it, rebellion. I would hang out with this one guy, every time I hung out with him I was with "Megan". Let's just say I hung out with "Megan" a lot. We would go out at least 2 times a week. Well, I would always listen to that CD. I bought it freshman year of college and I loved it. I still love it to this day. It's an awesome CD.
Back to my point, have you ever wanted to go back in time? Not to change how anything happened like a lot of people think, but just to re-live those days. I do not approve of what I did, but I must say, I did have fun. I can't even express how much this person still means to me. We're still friends, although, I don't hang out with him like I did. We have both moved on with our lives, but still keep in contact. This is just something that has been on my mind lately.
But now, in my life, I am at a turning point. I have had my rebellious days and now I am ready to start living my life for Christ. Yesterday at church, we were singing, and the song just struck me. I practically broke down. See the night before I went out with a friend of mine. Well, my dad was telling me things, that, to be honest, go in one ear and out the other. But for some reason, his words just stuck with me the whole time i was with my friend. Now I couldn't cancel on him because he drove up from Wilkes-Barre. Then after we went out separate ways, I went and hung out with my other really good friend. He is one of those other "Megan" people. Back to yesterday, I realized, that my actions are not pleasing in the sight of God or other people. Unfortunately, I need to to one of the hardest things ever, break off ties with some of the people I love. But they're bringing me down in my walk with Christ. I need to hang out with people that will lift me up Spiritually and mentally. This will be one of the hardest times of my life. So please, I could use encouragement as I begin my road of trying to find my place in the Body of Christ.
I should be getting back to work now. Thank you for reading!

Hey miss Katie...thanks so much for sharing your heart. The Enemy so badly wants to maintain this possible foothold he has on you...oohhhh he wants it. He's such a great liar...begin believe the Lord knows you greater and deeper than anything and only HE knows what is best for you...you are His child.

Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Psalm 139:1-6 - my favorite part vs. 5 "You hem me in - behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me."
