So this WHOLE blog is supposed to be me being transparent. FAIL. I’m supposed to be real about my triumphs and even more so, my failures
BUT I keep neglecting this blog because I feel in order for you all to
understand where I’m headed you NEED to know where I am coming
from. But that requires y’all knowing my
business… I’m honestly not sure how I
feel about that but I’ve been reminded OVER AND OVER again that it isn’t
about how I feel, it is about what is best for the Kingdom. I think a lot of you all will benefit from
hearing my deepest secrets, my failures and my life of sin because you WILL NOT
be able to understand how far God has brought me if I’m not transparent about
where I came from.
I really admire the Christians who are able to attach
EX-fornicator, EX-liar, EX-“Insert Your Sin Here” to their profiles. I’ll admit it, I sometimes side eye them but
deep down, I’m JEALOUS. I want y’all to know my struggles but I wasn’t
raised that way. I wasn’t raised to tell
my business. Honestly, most of y’all
know that my name is Brie [y’all don’t even know my real name], you
know I’m sick [or a flake], and that I went
to UGA [do you know I hated it?]. Most people know me on a very superficial
level. But, hey, whose fault is that?
MINE.
Recently the Holy Spirit has been nudging me [and I want to pay attention that nudge
before it turns into a push] and almost every time during my quiet time I
run across a person in the Bible who was transparent about their past
life. My favorite is Saul ->
Paul. I love how he is sold out for the
Gospel! BUT I don’t believe Paul’s story
would be as powerful if you didn’t know about Saul. Sometimes people need to
see that this new life in Christ is attainable for them and the best way for
them to see that is from someone who was like them.
I just honestly pray that over the time that I get to post
on here y’all begin to see how God has worked on me and just how much He loves His kids.
Coram Deo,
