progress

a month ago i emailed sven (that guy from the 'i'm a wreck' post) regarding mark madsen. before sven became a Christian, he had talked with some mormons, and i was wondering if he had any advice on what to say to mark (since i'm still so at a loss). (from his reply, it actually sounds like he knows who mark is!). he didn't have too much to say on it, but he did suggest focusing on the fact JESUS is fully GOD, rather than a created spirit. so yay! i have a start! pray that things will come clearly to me - that i'll be listening to the SPIRIT, and that mark, (when i finally finish this) will, too.
but while i'm extremely excited about that, there's also other progress. part of me didn't want to email sven because every time i do, i get all excited, hear from him twice, don't hear from him for 3 years, my heart gets crushed, and i have to bounce back. it gets tiring. (don't fall for a guy who hardly knows you're there - that's my advice.) but i decided to email him anyway, as a brother in CHRIST, whom i respect, and who i thought might be able to help me in this spiritual matter. so tonight i got his email, and my first thought was 'yay! now i'll have an idea of what i should say to mark!' that was my first thought! my next was a 3 second flutter, but then after that it was 'yay! now i have an idea of what to say to mark!' yay!!! finally! 7 years later - some progress!

Yay you (and God) for first thinking of Mark. And yay Sven (nice alias!) for FINALLY writing you back. Boys!

And I'll definitely be praying for you as you figure this all out. Nancy and Chris are on holidays right now but they'll be back in town on Wednesday if you want to talk to them about it again.

That does sound cute & British. ;) And yay for progress and for Sven finally writing back! (eye roll;) Maybe God had him wait to write so that you could get frustrated with him and be focusing on Mark instead. But anyway, progress is good! ...no matter how slow it seems. ;)
