God is so good... I could stop with that statement, but I feel I must express how He has been so good in my life. He saved me. He has saved me from myself, from the lies, and from Hell. With the last blog I wrote I almost felt damned, but it was a sobering effect. I finally, praise God, had someone honest with me about my life. Things I knew but didn't want to hear or accept, which is why I was beginning to slowly drink and party my life away again.
It is possible to accept God, but not truly know God. Like the quote stated in the previous blog; look at possibly 80% of the people you know who claim to know the Lord. We know of Him, but do we truly know Him. I don't; and have never really tried till recently. I'm still failing for the most part, but praise God He has begun a hunger in me to know Him more.
So, long story short. On December 12, 2009, I asked God to become a part of my life; no longer just the temporary bandaid that helped cover some of the pain. Praise God for His mercy!

Bam! Roasted...
This will seem a little vague so don't quote me on this.
Today a reliable source told me a quote/statistic they heard Billy Grahm had once said. (I know I am losing you already) Here is his shocking statistic: he believes about 80% of the people sitting in the pews at the church aren't even saved. Like truly, life changed, heart changed, born again.
Want to hear another shocker... to find out your in that 80%.
Bam! I'm roasted....
Goodnight world...
2 Corinthians 7:10 "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorry brings death."

Square One
So, I feel as if I am back at square one. The only difference with this round is that I know where my hope comes from; its just trusting in that. So much has changed since my last post. I still have the same desires and aspirations as before, but I have allowed many road blocks into my life. These road blocks have now made quite an obstacle for me to get back to Christ. I know He still sees me through the haze, but I seem to keep His hand just out of reach.
"Tis better to have never tasted such fruit than to have tasted and died all over again..."
I will keep going though. Not for myself, but for Him, and for those who are yet to come. Christ has a story to tell through my life, but I must let him conquer it first. I know there are hopeless daughters of the King who could find hope through such a testimony: sexual abuse, abandonment, verbal abuse, neglect, alcoholism, drugs, etc. But all will be in vain if I do not begin to give God all the glory and learn that it is NOT about me.
"Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth... whom I created fro my glory" (Isiah 43:6-7)
