Do not be afraid because Gods promises are eternal and with him by my side I can over come any obstacle…
That is basically what my tattoo says. I want to tell you where that comes from and why I needed it on my body and knowing it will be there for the rest of my life.
So it takes me back to training camp, and on a Friday I was having a super great day and everything was going so well and then the next day I noticed something different and had a terrible day on Saturday it was like my whole body shut down and my soul and mind was not in the mood to do anything for the kingdom. I’m not gonna lie it was a really hard day and a leader noticed it and took me aside and basically told me to tell her what I was thinking about and I started to talk and it all came out and I figured out that when I was younger my mama used to make me promises all the time like “next year ill take you to Disney” or “we will take a good vacation” or “ill take you shopping” or “Ill get sober and stay sober” but it all reality she was always getting my hopes up but never kept them. I began to correlate that to my faith and began to figure out that when things start going good in my walk with Jesus I’m not gonna lie I shut down because i’m scared.
So this tattoo is such a good reminder that even if the worldly people around me make promises but don’t fulfill them that doesn’t mean God is going to do the same thing. His promises are eternal and when he makes a promise hes going to keep it and his will be done.
