I have to admit something to ya'll...
Ready? Here goes:
I am not perfect.
As a matter of fact, I am so far in the opposite direction that it stinks. I thought that I was doing fine, but a friend unknowingly held a mirror up for me to see. And it was U-G-L-Y.
I have become angry and bitter and judgemental. I have thought things like, "Lord, thank you that I am not like the other people down here. I am so glad that I have it all together and that I am living a charmed life."
Seriously.
But, the bottom fell out, as it always does. I have lost my footing. It's hard to believe that God could still want or use me, even now. Just how far is East from the West, really?
If pride is what makes one fall, then shame and disgrace are what keep you from getting back up again. So, I am confessing my sins, and resting in the knowledge that He is faithful and just to forgive me.
But, now what? How do I keep from becoming the very thing that I despise again? How do I stay focused on the eternal and what is really my goal? How do I move on and let God forgive me?
I am starting the journey over, and would love it if you would join me. I could sure use some encouragement and prayer, as well as accountability. Will you join me?

You can always count on me! I'm here for you!!!
Try not to be too hard on yourself. We all mess up, it's part of being human. Try to forgive yourself, God does if you've confessed it to Him. Remember God is good, let him love you.
I would love to join the journey with you, again. Sometimes as you know, we need to make the trip more and more as we grow and grow. You have been an inspiration to me and always bring me back to what is really important. I pray that you know just how important you are to your family, friends and to God. You are loved and valued.
