Hey people so I finally decided to blog!
The other day someone posed a question on here to me. How do you live saved and be so young? I don't really consider myself very young anymore but anyway- I surrendered to Christ 11 years ago and I can truly say that it was a life changing experience. When my cousin died I realized that the life I was living was a mess and I did not want go through life in the state I was in. I can talk about it now because I am delivered and not ashamed at the fact that I was a fornicator, liar, cheater. I even dabbled with some weed a few times. Yeah Me! Don't be astonished.
Sometimes I sit back and think how silly I was doing all that mess but to God be the GLORY I'm free- praise the Lord I'm free. I can't say that life has been a walk on easy street since my transformation but the situations and circumstances I've been through have been rewarding knowing that God has ALWAYS had my back, regardless of what state my mind was in. I love Him with all of my heart. It's not all peachy. I've been broke and almost homeless, BUT GOD. I've been stabbed in the back by so-called friends, BUT GOD. I've been talked about and beat down, crying many nights- BUT GOD. God knew every frustration and every need. This walk is a lifestyle and I am gonna walk it all the way out y'all. No I am not perfect but through God I will be made perfect in due time.
I don't care how young or old you are we gotta know that this life with Christ is so much better than without Him. I always say I wish I would have gotten to REALLY know God as a young girl. I went to church but never really listened. I was the youth president and didn't know nothing. When I started to experience life that is when the light came on. I know I can't keep people from doing the things that they do but I pray for the young folks. The girls out thinking that they gotta get in a mans face to get some attention. God can give you all the attention that you need. Boys out gangbanging, smoking weed, just tryna fit in. Christ is your bestfriend and no man friend can replace Him. We need to encourage our youth that is ok to live right. It's ok to sing songs that uplift God. We don't have to do as the world does. We have to die to this world and walk this thing out-going through that straight and narrow pathway. The pathway may get a little uneasy at times but it's possible through Christ that strengthens you.
Love you all!
