New start

I am starting fresh! I have confessed my sins, grief and shame to Jesus and I know that through Him I am forgiven :)
I was blessed to be raised in a Christian environment. I have believing parents and grandparents and with their guidance and through my own curiosity & faith, I too became a follower of Jesus. The more mature I become, I am more certain there is nothing else more beautiful I could ever do with my life besides love my creator!

My cousin posted a neat status about faith on Facebook today which I copied as my own status, "Faith makes all things possible...not easy."

My journey of faith has not been a straight path but I am blessed to say I am forgiven anyway. Despite my inconsistencies and my bitterness after my stepmom passed away from cancer in January of this year, I have redirected my life to live and be more like my Savior.

I can't do this alone but I am encouraged knowing that I have a foundation of my church family. I watched a cool podcast of pastor Mark Driscoll discussing the church family and in this video he talks about how we may become annoyed by people in church but he says that is what family is really about! We drive each other nuts but we can learn from each other & teach each other. We all need compassion so knowing that, we should give it!
