love and obey

today i am............

a daughter who loves and shares the love of jesus to my gay mother. when i found out the reason my parents divorced i was angry and bitter towards her and then to top it off my father was very controlling. as i was getting older i started drinking and doing other things i should not be doing and then at 19 i prayed that special prayer for jesus to come in my heart. i started praying for my mom and my dad but still holding onto resentments and even though i had the lord in my heart i still messed up and ended up pregnant without a husband and really no support. Through the lord's grace and me receiving hope through my precious baby i was now ready to obey the lord and love my mom and father as the lord has loved me.

now i am me....
i love when i get the chance to hear stories like this because it reminds me that not only do we as christians still mess up but that the lord still loves us through it.
