You made a remark about being in torment now that you're saved, and that's not necessarily written in stone. Yes there are times we feel tormented, from the Enemy. Yes sometimes God will lead us through things we need to change by conviction, but that shouldn't be "torment". maybe grieving, but not torment.

You are correct and thanks. I was stressed at the time and didn't express myself correctly. You are exactly right, grieved but not tormented.

I think the reason why I feel this way is because of how old I was when I got saved. I lived my life blindly for 34 years and didn't have a care in the world. Then all of a sudden I was jolted into Spiritual "reality" and it has been overwhelming. Although it is getting harder to remember the "old" me, I am still getting adjusted to the "new" me. And I can tell you this, He IS coming soon. I felt Him pull hard on me the last year before I was saved. And now that I can "see", I understand why.

I realize that I need to take time and "smell the roses", but that's hard with all the weeds I see now. I am trying to focus on how blessed I am in every way.

Thanks Eagle, and thank God for outlets like this board. Know that I am here for all of you guys as well. We need to keep everyone's Spirits lifted. These are crazy times but hopefully we can all find comfort in knowing our eternal destiny.

Thanks a bunch for the post Eagle and God bless.

You're welcome Betty. Sure are a lot of things going on these days.

I have a question for you Betty, and whoever else would like to respond. Born Again said:

What surprises me about this planet is, one, that it exists at all, and second, that it is not all that much of a fun place.

One would have thought that an amazing place like the earth hanging loose on "gravitational space" would at least have been a fun place. But it is not.
