I'm forty-five today. It's been a rough haul. Horrible things have happened but also awesome things have happened.
Let's see...
Born a bastard.
Saved by Jesus.
Abandoned by dad.
Rock-solid mom.
I have concentrated on the bad things that happened to me and Im gonna stop doing that now. I've been dragging around a pile of child abuse, abandonment, depression, rape...for so long now.
Jesus asked me to pick up my Cross and follow Him. How can I do that when Im dragging around this pile of s••t that happened to me years ago?
For my 45th birthday, Im gonna give myself the present of putting down the trash and picking up the prize.
Good for you! The hardest thing in life I have found is gaining the realization there we have a CHOICE of what baggage we carry around. Its not an easy task to get there... that is why life is referred to as a test.
