Hey everyone, its been sometime since I've shared what on my mind and whats going on in my life. So with in the next few days y'all will need to keep up with me, I am going to send out a few blogs. I want to keep everyone up to date on what I have been learning, struggling threw, and what my next chapter in life maybe. Thanks to all of you who has been so patience, and willing to invest and hold me accountable I truly appreciate every single one of you.
Think about this; we live in this world that calls failure a weakness and labels weakness a flaw. We are taught to mask the truth because, “it’s better if you keep that to yourself,” and that the best way to lead is from our strengths instead of our weakness. If I can be honest and just share with you my thoughts, I think our world has built itself on a shallow and narrow foundation.
The truth is that this foundation is ready to crack, break, and fall at any second. While I know this is just my opinion, I think I have a clear valid point.
1. Crying is not allowed.
2. Keep your pain to yourself.
3. Never let others know your weakness.
These are things I've heard, and I'm sure you have as well throughout your life. And while many of us may try to shake off the truth of reality, you’d be surprised to know how many people are haunted by these thoughts on a daily.
I believe in a God of Grace, love, and second chances. Even though I may at time question God and not believe these things, I know it to be true. And if it wasn’t for these divine qualities all working together, I can promise you that I wouldn’t be standing here today tell you this. That I've been redeemed.
I’m not proud of my past, but I wear my scars on my sleeve because I am proud of who I’ve become in Christ. These scars remind me that I can conquer all things, and that healing is possible through God. Even the Toughest healing is possible!
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
My failures and mistakes are NOT my most treasured moments, but because of them I am now a living testimony of His redemption and grace.
Your story is His glory. Share it! Don’t hide your scars, wear them as proof that God heals.
Thoughts I find myself reminding myself daily, and a concept that isn't easy!
