4 years ago around this time... I remember someone telling me that I wouldnt make it, I was going to fail, I was too unfocused, and I wouldnt survive. I can remember being walked away from, avoided, and abandoned! I remember feeling like I wasnt good enough and uncertain if Gods voice was clear to me. I remember it all... But most importantly, I remember how through it all I never stopped smiling. I kept my head up. I didnt vent and bleed everywhere. I stayed positive. I monitored my conversations. I didnt expose people. I remain true to my integrity. Annnnd I learned the art of silence. During that time, I watched God fight for me... I watched him strengthen my character... I saw GOD working on my behalf. I became completely confident in Gods ability, promises, and protection. I learned that 1.) Hurt people, hurt people! 2.) Some people arent as for you as they claim 3.) the truth needs NO DEFENSE 4.) if youre not anchored in purpose youre bound to give up easily 5.) theres power in healthy communication 6.) God wont let the enemy destroy you 7.) silence is sometimes the best option! Why am I sharing this? Because... A lot of times we dont really know what people are dealing with. We sometimes can be so selfishly insensitive which can cause someone to give up. Many people may see my smile or confidence as something negative BUT theyll never know the times I doubted, cried, wasnt sure, didnt believe, and felt like quitting. Im thankful for how God brought me out. Im grateful that God still chooses to use me. Im glad for his presence. And I can truly say HES FAITHFUL!
