I remember my years in college like it was yesterday. My dreams were enormous, like so many others. My future was bright and all I worried about was my next meal. I was blessed to have a room over my head and great people around me who helped when no one else could. I look back on those days and realize it was all preparing me for what I call real adulthood. After college, I believed all would be different, ..I believe all would work out like they told me it would….I believed in the college dream… you know what I mean.. Getting your four year degree and getting that dream job you’ve always wanted…. By the way my dream job would have been Counselor.. …
Along the way I made many blunders…I made many mistakes… not just small mistakes, like miscalculating your checking balance and overdrawing your account. My mistakes always seem to be massive. I made one mistake in my career life that changed everything. I turned down an excellent opportunity to work with some great people with the hopes and promises of having a beautiful future with my current venture. That one mistake shaped the broken person I had become. It followed with a lot of betrayals, deceitfulness, and downright ungodly revelations. The only thing that keeps me going is that God knew this would happen before it even happen to me. He knew all my mistakes back then and He knows all the mistakes I will make now. The truth is I am still managing my way through these mistakes with the Gods Grace. Some mornings I struggle to get out of bed, but I just remember Gods Grace….. His Grace allowed me to rise from my mistakes in the past and His beautiful, wonderful, amazing Grace will allow me to rise once again….
I truly believe that if your heart is pure towards God, He will give you another chance to correct your mistakes. The task now is to step out on faith. Step out on what He said you are and not what the people around you are calling you. Join me in this journey of Faith…..We are all worthy….No matter what mistakes you’ve made, forgive yourself because you know what….God has forgiven you already my friend
Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
To be continued…
