You Can Change...

It's time for an update, and I apologize for the delay.  This week is finals week and I'm trying to get prepared for a couple of tests.  I'm pretty sure I have ADD mixed with anxiousness for Christmas and to preach.  Lets put it this way...I am one big ball of nerves that is about to pop like a big zit!  Please pray for my last two tests, my theology test and Greek test, especially my Greek test.  I need all the prayer, and I know there are a couple others in my class that need prayer as well.  

On the original reason why I decided to post something tonight, I was listening to James MacDonald's sermon entitled "Self in the Dirt."  In that sermon he was preaching in regards to repentance, and he talked about how many people are ashamed of their past and are ashamed of things that they still do today in private.  What he said though is a good reminder to all of us.  We can begin clean.  We can start over.  It all comes down to one word:  REPENTANCE!  It is a serious issue and something that should not be taken lightly.  I know that I was stirred when I heard this message and immediately thought of things that I am not proud of in my life now or in my past.  But we can begin afresh with God, if we will come to Him with a heart of repentance.  I know that I need repentance.  Do you need repentance?
