As I've finished my Desire of Ages reading for the night, I head to the kitchen for a Swiss Miss Vanilla Pudding and I'm startled by a round of gunshots coming from outside. Well not exactly outside, maybe two streets away. It has been this way for the past week or so.
It seems like it's a nightly scheduled thing - 8 PM nightly. Gang warfare is a real and dangerous issue in our country. I think I should no longer travel at nights. Two people (already) were murdered and there's a possibility of the gunshots being even closer that before since a neighbour of ours is in the mix of things. I remember waking to study at 3 AM one morning and being startled, maybe a bit afraid, by the same explosions. About 12 bullets were fired and the local news seems not to have any coverage on the shootings. It's serious.
Father, put a hand.

Journal Confession
Sometimes, you just have to get on your knees. AS I STATED EARLIER, God wants me to get rid of my objects of sin, so I did and I'm not sure what to do. Should I pray? What should I say. As I write, it becomes awkward to note my feelings, I know I have to be honest. For the past months I've been praying for God to help me to give up sin and make a change but I've never really made a move like this one.
I thank Him for new beginnings in my life. This is a new start, initiated by the Holy Spirit. Christ alone knows what will be the outcome. I place everything in His hands.
Lord lead me.
