I know Im chosen to share my life, to encourage others in their struggles while sharing mine. I know I can snap just like anyone else but I also know the truth in God growing us into His image, meaning perfect and that once saved always saved is a lie and we arent perfect and were only human is also a lie. I have just been shown so much in those sayings when many have tried to convince me they are true. Anyways, someone may need me and me them and if I shut down from fb I may continue to wonder whos given up because I chose to give up on sharing, when my struggles are real just like closet hiders. The only difference is Im not afraid what man thinks period, even when Im in the wrong. If it wasnt for me staying me no matter what, I wouldnt grow the way I am or witnesses verses coming alive. For example this verse came alive a few days ago. Matthew 6:3 Amplified Bible (AMP) 3 But when you give to charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, Not just in charity but in my SHARING AS WELL! Revelation 12:11 Amplified Bible (AMP) 11 And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing]. I wake up having to make a choice daily, saved or not. Joshua 24:14-15 Amplified Bible (AMP) 14 Now therefore, [reverently] fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in truth; put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the [Euphrates] River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. There are days and weeks I woke up choosing the enemy, NOT EVEN REALIZING IT! And it hurt me, BAD! I wouldnt be who I am if it wasnt for MY relationship with Christ nor would I be this far. Even in the myst of evil I have the strength to not give up or stunt my growth. 1 John 4:4 Amplified Bible (AMP) 4 Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world. I cant help if others arent as open as me and I cant help if others disagree. Im Shannon who is choosing daily who I want to serve and Shannon who wants to go as far as she can go with God Himself, nothing personal. When it comes to Jesus and my relationship with Him, even my family and kids come last. They know that and have grown to respecting that, I love my family to pieces for that. I bet they feel it is better than me using and acting an a$$ in and out of jail. This world doesnt matter to me nor does my worldly reputation or image. Jesus Christ matters to me and if you TRULY knew me then youd realize that and that I cant sit in a corner and not grow, just because Im outspoken and shake people up. Im doing what Im suppose to whether I end up being wrong one season or right the next. Im a warrior and I have been chosen. I will overcome because its finshed, Jesus won! I dont care whos shaking their head at me or saying puhlease about my walk. I dont ask you to understand, I only ask that you respect MY journey and calling. Matthew 22:14-16 Amplified Bible (AMP) 14 For many are called (invited and summoned), but few are chosen. 15 Then the Pharisees went and consulted and plotted together how they might entangle Jesus in His talk. 16 And they sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that You are [a]sincereand what You profess to be and that You teach the way of God truthfully, regardless of consequences and being afraid of no man; for You are impartialand do not regard either the person or the position of anyone. We are ALL called to preach the Gospel if we choose Christ. Why apologize to man for that? We are ALL ugly as hell on the inside. And we can ALL be freed and delivered. I choose to be made in Gods image and pure and blameless. By being all that, I have to continue my journey in the fire no matter the cost. Ive lost everything once and it saved my life. I meant when I said I OWE JESUS CHRIST MY LIFE, in my long testimony. Just because you may disagree, is it fair to shut me up? I may call you out but I wont force you to change. And when I go as far as calling anyone out, it is to get my vent out instead of evil making a home in me (nothing personal). Just dont expect to stay in my life or me in yours if my growth causes us to bump heads. Family or not family. We dont always have to agree with folks, but we certainly dont need peeps in our inner circle who cause division and are unkind!!!! I can even become that way when I force myself to stay in relationships in a worldly way. We are commanded to be equally yoked! My relationship is spiritual and with Jesus Christ, not worldly and with man. Love ya!
