What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I am a firm believer in that. And the Lord NEVER gives us more than we can handle. Sometimes I've wondered about that, because I have been dealt some things in life that I wasn't sure I could handle or not. But each trial has led to the perfecting of my faith, and giving me increased endurance. I know what it means in James 1:2-4.....
Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing. (Amplified Bible)
My passion for ministry is in bringing strength to those who are about to give up. I know what it's like to be in the gutter (literally). I lived homeless for nearly 2 years, and was addicted to drugs severely, so much that it nearly killed me and every relationship with friends, family, ANYONE, including God. The last person I ever thought would be there for me was the ONLY one who found me EVERY time I hit rock bottom. It was HE who carried me, and HE who rescued me!
Now I am Passionately Alive 4 Him!!!!
I am now happily married to the LOVE of my LIFE! I am praying that the next few months will bring us news of a pregnancy. I am 34 years old and my biological clock is TICKING! Ha, ha. No, really! I can't wait to start a family! I have started this blog as a way to reach out to others with similar interests and a passion for being alive like I have. Each morning I plan to post something that speaks to me from the Word as well as some of the blogs and websites I enjoy daily, or one of my bible studies. The goal of this blog is to INSPIRE others, that if I can turn my life around then anyone can!
