I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me. -Psalm 3:3-5——————————————————————
For as long as I can remember, the choices I’ve made, the life I lived, it was all about me. What made me happy, what brought me pleasure, how it was beneficial to me. No matter how many red flags went up, no matter how many times I hit rock bottom, or lost everything I wanted, I kept living, for me. I’ve always believed in God, and I know he’s always been there, even when I didn’t deserve it. Little did I know I was being protected by a savior, who wanted nothing more than my attention. Even if that meant taking me through the valley of darkness to get it. My testimony is one full of bad decisions, wicked choices, selfish motives, and uncontrollable impulses. It’s also full of heartbreak, loss, loneliness, sadness, and pain. But even a whole lot of love, joy, happiness, peace, and contentment. Life is meant to be taken both bad and the good. You teach by example, you show others that faithfulness and obedience is beautiful. Who would rather gain this world, and lose out on a room in his kingdom?
