Just then, an announcement came over the speaker that Homecoming tickets were on sale.

This was so not how I saw my morning going, but I slid my palm against hers and said, âTo new friends.â But you helped Lily and I think everyone deserves a second chance, so as long as you donât plan on screwing my brother over again, I think we can be friends.â Ashleigh thrust out her hand. ÂI see youâve done your research,â I said. ÂBecause of the article you wrote about the team?â Your brother isnât exactly my number one fan.â Avery didnât want to talk to me, let alone be with me. ÂMy brotherâs never had a girlfriend before.â ÂI⦠really donât know what to say to that.â I flushed. ÂShe said you and my brother had some crazy chemistry at Ice Tâs.â ÂShe did, huh? All good things, I hope.â

ÂGross, Lil, thatâs my brother youâre talking about.â Ashleigh chuckled. ÂMiley,â a voice called, and I glanced over my shoulder to find Lily and Ashleigh approaching me. I walked the halls invisible, as kids still rode the high of the win. It was the only thing anyone was talking about Monday morning at school. If I believe the truth of who I am in Christ, my behavior will change.The Raiders won. If I change my behavior, I’ll change who I am as a person. If I believe the truth of who I am in Christ, my behavior will change. I am, first and foremost, a spiritual person and knowing Christ as my life is my most important need. I am primarily a sexual person and sex is my most important need. Because of what Christ has done, I am a new person who is holy and pure on the inside.(1 Corinthians 6:9-11 2 Corinthians 5:17 Ephesians 1:3-5, 4:24) (Philippians 4:19 John 7:37-38 Romans 15:13)īecause of what I’ve done and what was done to me, I am damaged goods. He loves me and desires my freedom more than I do. God is the only legitimate person who can meet my inward need for love and significance. My needs are never going to be met if I have to depend on others. I’m a child of God who struggles with sexual sins. God knows and loves me, even though I struggle with sin. Who I believe I am determines what I do.

I need to depend on and acknowledge God in all His ways. The Cross of Christ has set me free from my past. Give your thoughts, feelings, reactions and discuss each one.
