A Piece of the Puzzle

Choosing God over my selfish ways and choosing to follow him for all the days of my life has been the best decision that I could ever do and make. He has been there in moments where I felt completely alone and unwanted. I am so glad to have him walking right beside me everyday.

There have been many instances in my life where I felt like no one was there, not even my family or friends, but each and every time, God has shown his goodness and faithfulness to me. He has never stopped pursing me, nor left my side. He was there when I was told that my biological dad left me when I was a baby and the dad I thought was my dad, was my brothers biological father instead. I thought to myself, "How could a father leave his child? How could he leave knowing that he wouldn't be apart of the child's life that he created? or What was so wrong with me? Was I not enough? Will I ever be enough? However, instead of letting that define me and change who I am, I choose to follow after the father who is far greater than any earthly father on this earth. I wanted to know about the father who loves unconditionally, shows grace when I am undeserving and who wants me to embrace who he created me to be and not make me feel like I have to be perfect and do everything right.

Everyday since, God has continually worked within me, brought people into my life who I could go to when I was struggling with something, people who will pray for me on a daily basis and have taken me under their wing and shown me how to love, show grace and grow in my walk. I am so thankful for those people and for everything the Lord has brought me through, I wouldn't have it any other way. It's still a bumpy road, but God is right next to me, walking with me in every step I take.
