For some reason, I can't get my blog to have a pages tab, so here's the link to my About page.

About the Page

"No Fear, Day or Night" is taken from Psalm 91:5-6, "You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor the destruction that lays waste at noon day." It is not only the name of my blog, but also something of a motto for me.  For the last two years, I have struggled with a sin that had it's grip so tight on me that I could barely think of anything else.  Last month, God convicted me of my sin, and drove me to tell my mom, then my dad, about it.  I have not gone back to the sin since confessing it to God and my family and repenting of it, but the temptation to go back to it, or even just think of it, is with me every day.  For a few weeks after I gave up the sin, I was so afraid of the temptation, but I realized, finally, that I don't need to be afraid.  Yes, I need to resist the devil and temptation, but no, I have nothing to be afraid of if I am trusting in Christ's sacrifice on the cross, when He gave Himself to be a perfect, spotless sacrifice, having never sinned, taking my sin, and giving me His righteousness in its place.  I read Psalm 91, and verses 5 and 6 jumped out at me. I know usually they are taken to mean not fearing physical harm, but when I read them, I realized the same stood for the temptation I had. The worst times of temptation are when I am in bed at night, with nothing to do ("terror by night,... pestilence that walks in darkness..."), and when I am not doing much during the day ("arrow that flies by day,... destruction that lays waste at noonday.").  Now, even though I don't like the temptation and wish I didn't have it, I know I don't need to be afraid of it ("You shall not be afraid...").  Because I am a Christian, and because God has a lot to do with my life, everything I put on this blog will be from a Christian/God glorifying standpoint.  As to what I will post, it will mostly be my viewpoint on different subjects, things that come up in my life, and maybe a poem every once in a while.  If you follow my blog, I have a warning for you: I will state my opinions and not try to hide what I believe. However, I do know that I am not infallible, and if you disagree with me on any subject but the Bible, I will be glad to discuss/debate about it.
