Today its just me and God. I'm just going to be honest. Can I be? Thanks for saying yes. Life is a journey. Mountain top and Valley low experiences. If it wasn't for God's grace I honestly do not know where I would be. No this is not testimony time. I'm thankful. I don't deserve this life. I don't deserve life at all, but because of Jesus Christ I have life and because of Jesus Christ my life is full. Ten years ago I never would have imagined that I would be where I am today. If I was a heavy gambler I wouldn't have dared to bet you how my life and the current circumstances have played out. Through it all I hear a song of my past ringing out.
(I still have joy) after all the things I've been through Jesus is still my Joy. What an amazing Friend He has given me by given me Himself. God's says that if you lose something in my name for my sake you will gain so much more. It is only through trials, pains, and suffering that I can identify and call Jesus my very best friend. There is no one that can do you like you Him. Some would look at my life and say what a mess you have endured. I look at my life and though I have just crossed (still in ) one of the most driest deserts I have ever faced, and see God's footprints ever so carrying me. I am totally dependent on God. I know without a doubt that I can not, will not make it without Him. Click on the devotional tab in my blog. You will see the devotion that encouraged my soul today. (Upper Room)

God has spent the last year of my life stripping me clear of myself. I am learning that I can only be whole if I am nakedly (analogy- not litterally -ha!) standing in His grace. I keep trying to pick out "clothing" (plans, goals, dreams, activities, friends, etc.) for myself- but with each article that I place on myself, I cover/shield my heart a bit more AGAINST God. It's SO hard to be vulnerable. I fight it ...and by fighting, I am pushing God and His plans for my life away. Anyway, you'll read this later if you haven't yet… * James 1:3 "For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow".
