I'm so grateful God did not give up on me. In my youth, I felt the pull of God many times, but I chose to ignore Him. Moving when I felt the Lord say 'Stay.' But in my hard-headedness, His mercies and loving kindness followed hard after me, when I didn't deserve or even appreciate it. I look back now and just shake my head at the foolish girl I was. I continue to thank God for His never leaving or forsaking me. I cannot even begin to image, where I would be right now if God had left me to my own devices.
Life's a journey from birth to death. Filled with adventures, surprises, heartbreaking sadness, and bittersweet joy. Life's a journey to love. This is my odyssey.

From the Heart - Proverbs 1:24-25
I'm so grateful God did not give up on me. In my youth, I felt the pull of God many times, but I chose to ignore Him. Moving when I felt the Lord say 'Stay.' But in my hard-headedness, His mercies and loving kindness followed hard after me, when I didn't deserve or even appreciate it. I look back now and just shake my head at the foolish girl I was. I continue to thank God for His never leaving or forsaking me. I cannot even begin to image, where I would be right now if God had left me to my own devices.
