Mark, do you feel guilty not telling your parents? You want to but you're afraid of their reaction? What feels right to you? Can you talk just with your father possibly? You have learned a very important and lasting lesson, haven't you? Blessings to you~ |

P.S. I think this is enough to make you not want to celebrate your upcoming B.D. with alcohol. Think about this. If it caused you to slip once and do something so bad, it is something you should refrain from if you have repented.... Please pray about this! |

I've definately learned my lesson, but yes it seems the only way my days are peaceful and my mind's not going crazy is if I decide to have quit drinking completely. I try to justify it, but I know what it can lead to, and so to "Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace" (2Tim 2:22) is the only way.
2 Timothy 2:3 "Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus." I need to take my own advice and not be a partial-believer. If I believe at all I must believe this IS his way, it IS the only way, and it WILL be worth it. Violet, you and many other people here are so faithful on the forums. Thank you. God bless you guys, and know that you save lives. You save souls. A very big deal, that goes almost unrecognized by most of the world. Last edited by Mark_18; 11-30-2007 at 06:42 AM. |

Mark it has been my experience that it even bad news is received better coming from a repentant heart that it will be if discovered some other way. These things may be hard to deal with but they are part of growing up. It is a real man who can accept the responsibilty for his own actions. I will pray that God gives you the grace and favor to put this were it belongs, confessed and repented on. A clean conscience is a wonderful thing brother. Many blessings, Larry

Dear Mark.... God bless you. It must be so difficult for teen agers growing up these days with all the temptations around them. The one thing about you that I admire is your honesty and the Lord sees that as well. If we confess our sins He is just and able to forgive our sins. We all have made mistakes and will continue to make mistakes because of our sinful nature.. But God in His mercy and grace forgives us and we move on learning that lesson and putting our hope and trust in Him. He will never fail you Mark, he will never leave nor forsake you . You are a child of God . you can walk with your head held high knowing that all around you might but that OUr God is still on the throne and He riegns.
