Wearing my *brilliant Bimba smile* today and everyday b/c God is so good, and Im alive and well overcoming every last obstacle that comes my way b/c of His tremendous love, grace, mercy, lovingkindness and faithfulness toward me! Its gets so rough and hard in this life sometimes but #Jesus is that faithful friend, conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah & King! Like my precious Mommy, Elisabeth T. Bimba, told me growing up, Namie the road to heaven is paved with broken hearts and bruises, meaning that so long as we live this life in an imperfect world hard times will come; bad things will happen that will knock us down, BUT we have HOPE and that HOPE is JESUS, the ONLY ONE, who is able to carry us through every crazy, life-defeating circumstance we face in life. You know what? Growing up as a #PK (aka Preachers Kid) youd think Id know this and believe and accept it, but honestly for the longest time, although Id accepted Christ and repented of my sins to be reconciled with God as a child, Id not really experienced that real, organic, intimate ALIVE faith that so many older and even some younger people talked about. For all my life since my spiritual conversion, I have loved God. However, there was a time when because of some horrible things--life storms-- that happened to me in life/church/work/school/home, I began to doubt God. I began to question if He really loved & cared for me like my parents always taught us and like Id experienced in the earlier days of my Christian relationship with God. Life had beat me down so bad that I was like, Who is this God Im loving and supposedly serving? Where is He? Does He see? Does he hear? Does he see my broken bleeding heart and mind near on the edge of insanity? Does he even give a {insert profanity} about me?
