Salt and Light
If you had met at the age of 16, you never would have imagined me to be standing in the position and opportunity I am today. I couldn't even imagine it. But God Could. A girl who didn't quite know what she was doing or where she was headed. A girl so oblivious to her potential. A girl who was raised in a Christian home, went to church her whole life and claimed to be a Christian but didn't have a personal relationship with Jesus herself. All until Jesus revealed himself to me and I felt his love so relentlessly for the first time. He directed me in such a way that used all of my weaknesses, insecurities and faults for good. He broke me down and built me back up stronger than ever - multiple times. He reopened wounds I thought were already stitched up - one after another. He brought me on this journey and shined light in the darkest of places - repeatedly and abundantly. Nevertheless, I persevered because I believed God had called me.
And He has called you, too.
