I am here today because God is not done with me on this earth He created.
One month from today I will be 40 years old. In my 39 years, I have survived addiction, sexploitation, abuse, adultery, and many more sinful vices. If not for the love and grace of our savior Jesus Christ, I would be just another statistic lost to the enemy.
As I look back of my 39 years, I know at an early age that God was calling me to His purpose. I didn't know at age 7, but I know now at age 39. I have a timeline of events and people sewn in my brain that led me to my knees to receive the Holy Spirit. Once His Spirit comes upon you, its like you are now tuned into Heaven radio.
It is so easy to forget His goodness. It is easy to forget the pit that He delivered me out of. And sometimes He has to yank the reins back on me, as a reminder to slow down, be quiet, and listen.
Anyone that may need this reminder today, as I surely did, GOD IS THE SAME TODAY, TOMORROW, AND FOREVER. God does not change, we change. He is there, always there, we are the ones that fall back, step to the side and think that we have this life all figured out.
I was told a few weeks ago by someone that I was too needy as a friend. I am not needy, I am a lover. I love hard, and will always love hard. If you come into my life, and we form a friendship, or even if we meet once, I carry you with me. I have always put others before myself, and I will continue to do so. If that makes me needy, well God bless you.
To all my Daughters of Grace sisters, don't be afraid to love hard. Don't be afraid to extend a hand. Don't be afraid to show your true self that God created you to be. There is something special about a woman that can shed all the glamour, and just be real.
I pray you all have a wonderful day, and take a moment to look in the mirror and tell yourself "IT'S OK", whatever maybe troubling you today.
Love you all.....hard.
