"who else could cause so much destruction?"

The devil. He's pushed us into hate, gossip, indifference, and unfaithfulness to me, to them, to us. My friends and I. Summer usuals...

After a year now--or maybe more for some of us, and maybe less for others--of a bit of brokenness and loss of the real contact with each other, I think that 3 way heart-to-heart with Gerard and Abby really opened my eyes and theirs.

And I think we now know who to blame... ALL of us, for falling to the enemy's snares. Using each other as a scape goat for blame, mistreating each other purposely out of hurt and anger, talking behind each others' backs, never lovingly correcting each other but gossiping about each others mistakes in an unloving way, and most especially for failing to pray together. We haven't prayed together since 2 summers ago.

I feel like we all just got tested as a group, and kinda failed. But, at least God gave three of us the grace to realize what happened and what went wrong. Now, starting with us three, maybe we can begin the healing.

Summer Usuals Forum soon for sure, I think its time we talk and patch up some wounds and untold hurts.

Who knows what God's plan is for all of us, but I don't know about you guys, I tried leaving, and He wouldn't let me. Heh, maybe we really do play that big of a role in YFC.

So here's to us, I'm praying for us. Please pray with me.

God Bless.
