My wife would take my daughter to visit family in Michigan, we live in Florida. One year she came home and said she was going to start going to church and taking our daughter. I wanted discussion because I was against church, I'm not atheist I WAS catholic. I didn't learn anything in their schools or churches and my daughter was excelling at the highest level academically, she currently holds a 4.6 GPA in grade 11. I wanted NO part in messing her up. My wife was firm! They were going to church! I honestly didn't know how to stop it from happening. I'm a fighter so I KNOW I have to get to know my enemy, find his weakness then attack. I am confident I'm going to debunk God or religion and prove she shouldn't do this with our child. I called a Christian and asked "what book should I read if I'm new to bible" he immediately responded "book of John" so I bought a Bible and went to work taking down this hurdle. It's sad but way more funny how arrogant I was. This Christian asked me if I'd have coffee with him, I felt obligated but didn't wanna go. This guy was a complete tool. I only knew him because our kids played together. When we met he was nice, actually pleasant, that was weird to me because the only thing I knew or seen from church people was mean, nasty people. This guy included but talking about God was bringing him joy and he was smiling, REAL smile! He gave me a stupid worksheet and asked if I'd meet him next Tuesday. I said sure then cursed under my breath for next 10 minutes lol. It took a few meetings with Jason but I was doing the worksheets. There was a question about Sarah or Rebekah, that sent me into a frenzy, I had read Genesis to no avail but I remembered something I read that I had to figure out pertaining to the death and marriage of Rachel & Leah, I retraced, cross referenced, I honestly spent over 8 hours trying to figure out what was going on, I went to bed kinda upset. I woke up sweating with the STRONGEST urge I ever felt to go figure this out except I had a new game plan I know was sent from God, it was the spirit Jesus promised entering me. God's spirit was telling me to relax and just read the rest of the chapter. I spent 8 hours, got mad trying to do the wrong thing and the Lord woke me up and let me know he was going to protect me, he was going to love me but more importantly that I needed to be holding the door open for my wife and child that coming Sunday as they walk into church. I cried hard that night, I'm serious the carpet was wet as I begged Jesus to forgive me and help me. The Lord placed some great people in my path, through his servants and my desire to KNOW God I now BOLDY PROCLAIM Jesus as King of King, Lord of Lords. I'm a sinner who is aware of the commands and what I must sacrifice to have Jesus call me friend! I love the Lord with ALL my heart, mind, soul and strength but struggle mightily with #2 of the 2 GREAT commands given by Jesus. Were not told what Paul's thorn is in 2 Corinthians 12 but yall now know mine! I've learned through Jesus how to humble my teachings and I'm trying to show the world John 13.35 but it's my biggest struggle LOVE for my neighbor. Please pray for this if yall have time. Thanks
