I'm amazed by You...how You love me

Ok, so I promised I would be real on here, so today that is exactly what I am going to be. God is doing amazing things in my life right now. Each and every day, He takes my breath away... especially today.

I am human. I admit right now that sometimes I think I can do it all by myself. The truth is, I can't. I can try my absolute best to be perfect, but no matter what, I will fail. It is the love and grace of God, though, that puts that burning desire in my heart to be something great. To use my gifts, talents, and abilities to further pursue His kingdom and to be a light to my world. I truly believe that God has a purpose and plan for me. Although the walk may seem dark at times, He is shining that light at the end of the tunnel. Now I don't mean to get all "preachy" here, but seriously, some people just need to wake up and see what an amazing life God has given them. He has given everyone a talent worth sharing, something that can glorify His name in some way. So use it! Glorify Him, no matter what it takes. Chase after His heart, and you will find your own.
