I got this little piece of body art several months ago to remind me to not let the junk I struggle with hold me captive. My friend Melissa took this picture when we were being creative(frees my mind) this past weekend. I figured I would wait a while to reveal this one. The fact that I got the first one was shock enough for some of you.
Humbled. Broken. Desperate. Weak. Ashamed. Am I the only one? Doesn't really matter. God has once again allowed me to go to a place where I HAVE to seek him to survive. HE has reminded me of HIS grace, MERCY, forgiveness, unconditional LOVE, and that no matter how undeserving... I AM BLESSED. I have no words when I try to express how much it means to me that my family and friends LOVE and lift me up even when I am so tarnished. I am HIS child. I am so thankful! No matter how unworthy, I will praise him, seek him, beg HIM to show me the way. I am seeking something. Not sure what. If you are a believer, please pray for me. GOD has plans for me, BIG plans. He has saved me too many times. Even though 2010 started pretty crappy, and I don't make resolutions, I want to make a DECISION to seek HIM first in everything. I am praying that this year will be more of a blessing than the last, and that's a pretty big step up! I pray the same for you! Hold me accountable. I LOVE you Andy. You are my rock. I love you girls. You are my JOY. I love you friends. You tell it to me straight, and you laugh and cry with me. Thank you GOD for saving me.You are my strength. Without you, I am nothing.
*Note- I pulled this post for a bit bc I felt it made me too vulnerable to haters, BUT that is what HE calls us to be. Not so confident in ourselves, but in him. So, if you choose to use this against me, come on. It's only making me a better person in the end.
