I was reading Perry's blog today, and it absolutely rocked my world. Some of the things he said touched my heart so deeply that I began to cry. What God is doing through him has changed my life for eternity. One of the blogs I was reading had to do with his little girl Charisse. She was afraid to go into the snow and every time he placed her in it, she would hold up her arms and ask him to carry her. Finally, he realized that in order to help her overcome her fears, he had to place her in the snow and force her to come to him through the snow. Once I realized the point he was trying to make, I started to cry. I realized that this is exactly what God has done with me throughout my entire life. When I am scared or uncomfortable, he deliberately places me in situations that force me to come face to face with those fears. Until I can push through them, he is going to continue to put me in those types of situations. It makes sense. That is why these last several years of my life I've felt like I'm going in circles. When I come out of a problem, I go straight back into another one of the same nature. Perhaps God is going to place me in these situations so that I can learn how to handle them and overcome my fears.
