Addition to the Last Post

I walked a long, lonesome road in my life. I've also learned to live through the most painful parts too. I wanted to take the time to continue this post from the other one, "Walking the line." A road is often like a line. Sometimes, it is endless.

Because the last post was getting really long, I decided I would share just a few more brief moments.

I learned my lesson throughout life. Learned. What a great term! Everyone has their faults. Everyone does. We should all admit that. It is not that hard, and actually, we should not lie or try to hide them either. If we learn to tell the truth, maybe we could feel a little bit better about ourselves.

While learning to overcome some of the steepest of mountains, I had to encounter much of guidance. Even when I did not want any because I thought I could do everything myself, it has made me a stronger person. You do not need to work with your own person to overcome barriers all the time. Sometimes, just sometimes, you need to have someone make you a bit stronger.

Although others may be able to help you with regaining your strength, you must remember to complete your part too. You cannot leave the other person to take care of issues of yourself for you. In this, I am saying that not only as advice, but for my own person. I have needed to remind myself multiple times to put in my share as well. Jesus has guided me through this all. He has said before that he will guide you through mistakes. Yes, guide you. He not only takes away your sins and forgives, but He will guide you with open arms when you are open to Him.

Alright, back to my "testimony," I just wanted to say this, I always had this saying in my head. "Jesus loves me no matter what political party I am." It gave me more confidence and reminded me that I was okay living in the other direction. Truth is, he loves me no matter what. Period. But some of my views, He does not like. I had to realize that He gave me life. He chose me and yes, He knows I will fall. But we are made to change. He gives us a million second chances. Although He loves, he wants us to make the right choices too.

Yesterday, when I was realizing things, and changing, God had directed me to a couple different segments of scripture. I shared one with you on the previous post.

"All his days he eats in darkness, with great frustration, affliction, and anger." Ecclesiastes five: seventeen. I believe that God was introducing me with this verse. I believe it was the first verse he showed me.Then, I turned the page and read Ecclesiastes ten:two. I then flipped the page back to Ecclesiastes eight :one, "...Wisdom brightens a man's face and changes its hard appearance." This verse took me back to thinking about the the heart of the right. They are wise. Then, I was off to the last two scripture verses shown to me: "If a ruler's anger rises against you, do not leave your post; calmness can lay great errors to rest." Ecclesiastes ten: four. I found that in this fine verse, as I was mad and angry, I would speak of such horrible things. I would lay disrespect before my elder's feet with my own opinion. "At the beginning, [the fool's] words are folly; at the end, they are wicked madness-" Ecclesiastes ten: thirteen. I was assured that my sins were forgiven after I read each verse in the order presented unto me. I was taught very important lessons and I was sure I have learned a great deal from each.

I want to say one last thing before I end this post. I am thankful for God. He is always there for me. No matter my sins, He is always there to pick me up off the ground. Always there to chase me down that road. He cares so much. Thank you God, for loving me.
