"I'm gonna be the last one standing, fighting for something much bigger than me..."
These are the words to a Mercy Me song that I heard on the way to school this morning. So many people have offered encouraging words over the past few days, but the reoccurring theme has been to stay in the ring and fight.
I am going through Max Lucado's Facing Your Giants with my devotion group at school on Wednesday mornings and I was reminded of that theme again as I read Chapter 1 to them this morning. David wasn't perfect...he messed up...alot, but God still called him a man after his own heart. (Acts 13:22)
I know that I'm not perfect...I'm not ever going to be perfect. I also know that I love God and He loves me enough to look past my imperfection and see the real me - the me that He designed me to be.
I also realize now, after much affirmation, that because I am doing what I feel God has called me to do, that I am going to receive what Barry calls "hate mail..." I'm just going to try to take the advice of a friend and throw it away from now on.
Thanks for the words of encouragement and advice!
Peace!

post this on the outside of your mailbox for all to see.. especially the one who left you the note.
MATT 5:11-16 Read it... and keep living it! I say this a lot lately, but it is all between you and Jesus. Let others think what they want to think.... say what they want to say. In the end, it's God we will stand in judgement before. ALL OF US!
Love ya girl, keep fighting the Good Fight. Claim the victory in the name of Jesus Christ!
