so, yeah... Pruning hurts.
And i'm not talking about trimming those overgrown, over-thorned rosebushes, either. (Although that does hurt.)
When God cuts things out of your life, or when He points things out to you that He wants u to cut out on your own... That's the tough stuff...
Learning about yourself, and figuring out what those things are is tough, too......
I've brought myself into a new light recently, and found some things that look ugly.... Things that need to be adressed...
Proverbs 12:1 says "Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid."
So i talk to people... People give me insight. And i talk to God... He corrects me. Sometimes the lesson is hard, but i know that in the end, it'll make me tougher, stronger, and more righteous. It'll help to turn me into someone i want to be... (and that's still a long way off)
It's like they say, "If it doesn't kill ya.... It only makes u stronger." 10points if u can find that in the Bible somewhere. ;o)

Hm, 1 Corinthians 10:13 is pretty close... do I get the 10pts?
You are already a remarkable woman of God. A little pruning, while it may hurt, will focus you and hone you into a real butt-kicking christian!
Be prepared, because with a love for Jesus like yours, there is always more pruning in life... and results of your faith far greater than you can imagine.
I Corinthians 10:13 - No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
u can have 10 pts :oD
