Inspired

I do not consider myself a "writer."  I have some amazing friends that really write and know all there is to know about English, literature, grammer, etc.. I am not one of those.  However, I really really... I mean really LOVE to write.  It's my therapy. It's my outlet.  It's what my soul needs for a lesson to take root.

More than writing, I love to Inspire.  I am a passionate person, which most of the time leads to oversharing and emotional outbursts.  However, God made me a passionate person for a reason- to fight against injustice in this dark world and to bring light to others.

A couple years ago, I prayed...
"Lord, I give myself away so you can use me.  Take my life as a living sacrifice."

Now... let me give a disclaimer.  I would love if you pictured me with open arms praying this prayer, but in reality I was cringing...literally cringing and squinting my eyes.  I wasn't cringing because I thought God would strike me down with lightning, but because I know it's a BIG prayer and it's not really one you can take back...
"Ummm God, I was just joking about that one...you can use some of my life, but not all of it..."

 I also know that people that have prayed this aren't signing up for an "easy" road.  They are actually signing up for a HARD and LONG road.  But... it's where it leads that makes it all worth it.

"The gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to LIFE, and those who find it are few."
 - Matthew 7:14

So, here I am adding to the billion blogs out there.  This is our story of how God is taking us on this long, hard road that leads to life.  My prayer is that God would use it to inspire you in some way.
