...Ya know,I want to enjoy my life...every bit of it and I also want to give honor to the One who has given me the opportunity TO enjoy my life.I mean, if you have a favorite restaurant, or a cause you believe in or your school football team...your hometown..anything like that you will tell people about it, you will advertise for it, you will brag about it,you will stand beside it come hell or high water, so let me say this: My Jesus is much more than a football team or a place to get a bite to eat,He's even more than the place I grew up, he's more important to me than making friends.My Jesus has given me life...abundantly, He has brought me out of Egypt, and while I still may be in the wilderness, He's right here with me, when nobody else is...He is! He loves me just like I am, and in turn He also loves you just like you are. I have been on drugs most of my life, and been to prison 3 times because of it...I didn't raise my kids from the time they were 4 and 5, I have been through more than I care to talk about, and when it seemed there was no hope, no purpose and vision, He stepped in, and He rocked my world, He turned my life around. He didn't judge me, He just loved me, He rescued me and I am forever in His debt, but it's not burdensome. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He IS LIGHT!and all that I have been through, I will use it for His glory...See, I been there, I know what it's like to feel like nobody understands you, I know what it's like to feel like you have failed yourself and that there is no hope for you...I know what it feels like to hate the life you live and yet cling to it as if you'll die without it....I know!!and I also know the answer, and I am prepared to share that Answer with those people!! Oh..I don't guess this is the best thing to write in a profile, but then again, it's who I am.All the junk we do in life, all the time we waste can't be done over, I have wasted enough time. If it weren't for my Lord taking the wheel and turning my life around,I'd probably not even be here today.He saved me for a purpose! And I'm so glad, and it is my honor to love Him, and give Him all He deserves, as if I could ever give Him all the glory He deserves, but I give Him my best. He is still working with me, I am by no means perfect, but I know the One who is, and He is my Bestfriend.
I tell yall these things because it's part of who I am! It is part of what's made me the person I am today! I am SOOOO not perfect, and I know that! I struggle with all kinds of junk...but when I was living that wild life, I was empty inside! We constantly seek something to fill us, and we never seem to find it...we keep running and never get anywhere. Because our life was created by God for ONE PURPOSE and until we find out what it is, we won't find any peace, and the only way to get there is by following God's guidance and God's Son! Trust me yall, I know what I'm talking about!...
