**Another backdated text message to another friend. I thought it could be a good short passage to share, for those who need the courage to deal with a situation, especially one in which two parties were involved in. Context: me and a friend were banned from talking, and my parents decided to meet up with us & un-ban us. So I was scared that my friend wouldn't show, or that it would be scary for both of us, so....
i wrote down how im feeling (im excited to begin again, but im scared it will not happen), & then i started praying about it & then the song i was listening suddenly went "I WILL TRUST IN THE LORD" & then i flipped to a random part of the Bible & the story was about nabal & abigail. so nabal was evil and he was really mean, so king david decided to punish him. but then abigail (who is nabals wife) went to king david. and she took responsibility for his sins & blamed herself, then acknowledged that nabal had done lots of bad things too, & then said that theyd both change, and the change would be permanent and to glorify God. and then king david said "i have listened to you and granted your request". i think this is really applicable and so im less afraid now(:
I'm sorry it isn't really detailed (probably because it's an SMS), so I've included a picture of that day's devotions:
