... Not really sure what day this is. Sorry, I'm not punctual like Princess Jasmine!

Yup - I told you I was bad at this.
BUT - I'm getting better. — yeah, that may be giving too much credit, but I'm back now, so that's ... something...

Anyway, if you read the last post, you know that I had a revival moment! YAY!!

But, if you've ever had a revival moment — or any other kind of spiritual high — then you know there's also the "getting back to 'reality'" moment. Which, of course, considering I've had a few weeks to get there, has already happened.
BUT - I want to know what any of you have to say about how to deal with fall backs, because I know (and I'm certain God knows — and absolutely positive that Jesus knows — considering His forty days in the desert and of temptation was right after his baptism and assertion from God, but I digress, and etc.) that these times are hard. They bring pain, they bring trouble, and they bring doubt and concern over the validity of your 'growth'. So, what do we do about it? Well, I'm not trained in this subject area, so I don't know. Any comments?

Anyway-

As far as I can tell (and as much as I'm trying to do) we :
1- Give thanks!!! This is a biggie. As far as thanksgiving goes, you should do what is both sincerely a thankful heart and act to God, and a Biblically sound offering to God in gratitude for the love He shows you, and for whatever He has done that brought you here (not to say, of course, that thanksgiving and offerings aren't to be given to God anyway)
2- keep on doing whatever we did before that got us there, because that's a pretty obvious place to start.
3- pray. Now this is one I have trouble with, but just the effort — if sincere — gets through, and it's not like God wouldn't know of your sincerity. Bonus: intercession of the Holy Spirit!! (provided you're a believer, of course.)
4- Tell Somebody, ANYBODY, *EVERYBODY* what God has done for you!! And honestly, that shouldn't be too hard, considering what all He's done for all of us! :)

Yeah - I'm making some big generalizations here, and I want to restate that these are not the words of an ordained, educated person on the subject. I SOOOOOOOO Strongly suggest that you ask for more information about this from your local pastor, youth minister, priest, etc. Furthermore, I suggest you ask GOD, because He knows better than anyone what pleases Him most.

God Bless, and leave comments if you want! Good night, and Happy November 7th!
