I’ve often talked of the slippery slope. How one compromise leads to another, and then another, until you have fully lost sight of who you are and what is right and good.

Man I slipped. No, I didn’t reach bottom – praise the Lord for that – but I slipped. I didn’t see it happening and I didn’t believe it when it was pointed out to me. But with every slip it was easier to justify why it was okay.

God won’t let us continue to fall, He will always give us opportunities to look up and let Him pull us back up the slope.

I took God for granted. And in doing so, I took the gift He had given me for granted. I didn’t even see it. I didn’t believe it when it was happening, but God saw, and my fiancé saw.

My fiancé let me go, he had to, he had to protect himself from the continued hurt I was causing him.

But God has pulled me closer and I will rest in His arms. I have given my life back to Him. Only He can mend my brokenness.
