It occurred to me that many of you knew me "back in the day" and are well aware of my history of bad choices. I have made many decisions over the years that were not honoring to God and went against everything I believe in today. So, I felt like I needed to add some "fine print" to my previous posts for clarification.
I know the consequences of choosing the wrong path. I've taken that road. I know the pain of separation from God because I have lived it. I know that selfish behavior leads to destruction because I have taken part in destroying good things. I am ashamed of the mistakes I've made, the people I have hurt, and the chaos I've caused along the way. Once the damage is done, you can never go back and change the outcome. I'm not an expert on righteous living or marriage. I've failed at both. However, I am qualified to tell you who God is because of all He has done for me. He has forgiven every bad thing I've ever done. That's why I want to share Him. Not because I think I have it all together, but because I know I don't. I am a deeply flawed human being saved by the grace of God. I hope y'all know that when I share from my heart it is because I have walked from the darkness into His light. A life in his presence is so much better than what I ever had on my own. I still mess up. We all do. Please don't judge the message by the faults of the messenger. God's truth is absolute. He wants our whole heart. He wants to come first in our life. I'm not perfect, but my God is. He is worthy of our love and adoration. His truth will change your life if you let it and are willing to live your life according to it. Again... I am a mess, but I am HIS mess... and He has blessed this mess more than I will ever deserve or comprehend. I will be a work in progress and under construction until I reach the gates of Heaven. I believe the key to living a life that brings glory to God is to continue working towards His purposes and never give up. We may stray from His path at times, but His truth will guide us where we are supposed to go if we choose to follow it.
