Hey Fam,
Ten years ago today I gave my life to the Lord. I want to say that I struggled with the thought, that I wasn’t sure if I should give my life away to Him, that I couldn’t decide if giving my old life up was going to be worth it, but it wasn’t. If anything, that was the easy part.
These past 10 years have been days, weeks, months, of just straight up testimony. He has brought me through a ton of garbage, and that is an understatement. I won’t pretend that I’ve been a perfect daughter, or even a good one most of the time, but He has loved me at my darkest, and there are brighter days to come. I firmly believe that these past 10 years have set me up for the next 10 years. I am more in love than I ever have been with Jesus.
I am so thankful for the people that have stood by me through it all, whether it’s been in prayer, or physically.
I have learned to celebrate the dark times because they make the good times even brighter. I have learned to love hard…harder than you ever really want to, because it pays off.
I have learned that if you don’t quit, you win. I have had so many moments where quitting just felt easier. You have no idea how many times I have wanted to quit. But, if you know me at all, you know I hate losing.
I have learned that if you ask God a question, He will without a doubt answer.
I have learned that God is a really good guy. He’s all about us. He’s seriously crazy about us.
I have learned, unlearned, and relearned how to be a good daughter, a good human, and a good Christian.
I can’t believe how far I’ve come.
I can’t believe how far I have to go.
I can’t believe He’s never given up on me.
I can’t believe I’m 10 years old.
I’m out of my mind excited that I’m 10!!
I love birthdays, and I love today.
All my love,
Jenessa
