Starting over... again

Now that I have this thing figured out I can start keeping it up to date, hopefully. I was reading my bible today looking for some inspiration and I came to realize that I need to let go completely! I have always tried to make my life with God separate from my everyday life. I know now that is impossible. God deserves me wholly and that is what I intend to give him from this point forward. No more selfishness, or excuses. There is nothing that should keep me from my Father for any reason. It is a new beginning for me--again! Things will be different this time because it is about His will, not mine. I am done being selfish, it's time to let go! The surroundings in my life are not what they should be and I am going to be changing that as well. I know I have many supporters and friends to pray for me, and I am more than grateful. I have also been praying for some time now and I do believe that God has given me a peace about things. The past few days have not been the easiest for me by any means, but He has kept my spirits up. Even my relationship with my mom has gotten better. To those of you reading this... keep praying... we all know I need it!

Shaunda, I cannot tell you how proud I am of you. You truly are like a sister to me. I can't imagine my life without you as a friend. I know there's been times in the past when we fought or whatever, but true friends move beyond those times as we have. I love you so much, and I am overjoyed to see the way you glow when Conner is near. He is a blessing to us all. I just want you to know that I will be praying for you. I want you to pray for me too. I know we can all help each other so much. I think it's time we set things straight and start down the narrow path. God has been so good and faithful to me, and I can't wait to see how he's going to grow all of us in the years to come. God bless you!
