19 Days

19 days until everything changes.
19 days until my life is no longer my own. (MMM- heart check. It's NOT my own NOW... I belong to Christ.)
19 days until I have to think foraboutwith two.
19 days until I am one with another human who I then must worship with- our walk is no longer our individual walk... we are responsible for each other. We belong to one another. We are united in Christ. When one stumbles, the other must be there to offer a hand to help the other up- our unity, and [I dare say] our salvation depend on it.... we must endure to the end- together. We are yoked. We are one. We are a team. We are for each other. We are in Christ. We must study and pray and love together with everything we've got ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!!!!

God has prepared me. From before the world began, I have been His. All that I've been through in my life- from birth to today has been sovereignly ordained to prepare me for what He has for me to do (each day).  Even my trials as a child STRENGTHENED me and made me UNIQUE. I am an alien. I am not of this world. I must not be conformed to this world.

1 John 2:15  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 

19 days.
It is real. That 2_, or 3_, or 4_, or 9_ [days] was protection- a cushion- this is a big step and the time cushion kept it from being completely real. Now it's real. Wellllll.... getting realER. Talk to me in 19 days. Reality is going to smack me in the face and I'm going to love it. (I'm GOING TO LOVE IT!!! Perfect love casts out all fear! 1 John 4:18).

I want Tyrone to love his parents (in deed and in truth).
I cannot change anyone. Ty taught me that. GOD taught me that. GOD taught me that through practical experience. God taught me a LOT. He taught me about addiction and what it does to people and families... I lived it. He prepared me to understand His son, Tyrone. He also used me to help Joe as God rescued Him. God has rescued Tyrone. Trust Him. Love Tyrone.

That's the key there. Forever. Trust God. Love Tyrone.

19 days.
Trust God. Love Tyrone.
