This is right. where. I. am. This may be a little different from what you are specifically talking about, but.. For many years I have struggled with the addiction of needing other people's affirmation...and over just the past few years, God has done some serious (and painful) "pruning" in my life to help me break free from this stronghold and woo me back to Him. He has removed things I dearly loved because I worshipped them more than I worshipped Him. My role as a bible study leader, my blog, and very recently, my Facebook account. All 3 of those things were "good" things and to the outside world--and to myself for a long time--it seemed strange that I would have to give them up, but God saw my heart and knew my motives were not entirely pure. As I type these words I am so ashamed that I would let myself steal God's glory and yet I am also in awe of His love for me and the lengths He is willing to go to in order to help me establish a firm foundation in my relationship with Jesus Christ alone. Thanks for allowing me to share :) Oh my goodness. This is right. where. I. am. This may be a little different from what you are specifically talking about, but..
