It's not about you, its about my journey

Treats Monday message

It's about my journey. ...

People ask me all the time about my faith and why I blog so much about it. I even had people tell me I need to stop talking about it, that I was scaring people off because of this.

I even wrote a blog about it called "Does my faith scare you?" Because of all the slack I have gotten over this. I am not here to stand on a soap box, to cram my faith down your throat or to preach that you better  believe or you'll go to hell, that is not me, that is not my mission.

I am here to tell my story, to let you know how I got here, it may not work for you and that's okay, this is my journey and this is my purpose, to write and be able to share how I over came all the advertiser I have had in my life.

Weither you believe my story or not, its okay too, its my story. I know what happened in my life and what got me to the stage where I am now. I know it was God that got me through all of it.

It was God that I prayed to when I was raped and thrown out of that car on the side of the road. It was my God that I prayed to for answers after I woke up, from trying to take my own life. He was the one I felt grace from when I went on to become a rape consular and help others. It was my God that I prayed to when I woke up on the floor from a seven day coke binge , dirty and smelly asking him to save my life.

He is same one I give thanks to from taking away my urge to do drugs and drink. It was my God I prayed to when I was dying a slow death in a verbally abusive marriage, when I could no longer go on and I fell to my knees defeated, broken and empty. It was his name I cried out when I could no longer do it on my own.

So why do I write about it?  Because without his grace and glory I could not have went on, his love put peace in my heart, his words made me believe in myself, his grace made me forgive myself for my many mistakes and forgive others for theirs as well.
In his love I changed my whole life around and I have found a whole new life that I could only dreamed about before.

So today my friends, I am here to tell you what worked for me, this positive, happy, peaceful person you see before you is only here because I gave my life up to God. The choice is yours, I always tell you that... choose my way or choose your own, the choice is up to you.
This is my choice, this is my journey, this is about my happiness and I choose to share my story with you.
