My My, How Things Have Changed



My my, how things have changed from where I used to be.  And I can't complain.  Things have definitely changed for the better.  Two years ago, three years ago, four years ago, five years ago....heck, I could go back to 10 years ago, and if I did, your jaw would drop-to-the-ground in disbelief as to the things that I was doing.

It was nothing for me to go on a ten day haul with no sleep.  No food for that matter either.  Nowadays, going more than a couple of hours without food, or more than 16 hours without at least a cat-nap, sure does something awful to me.  Anyways, point is, things have changed, and it's for the better.

God has graciously shown me his love.  Removing people from my life that needed to be removed, and placing the special one's in my life right where they need to be.  I can't even begin to explain how good it feels to be where I am today.

I'm not saying that life is all grand, because it for sure isn't.  I still battle with certain problems on a daily basis.   I still stay awake at night praying to God that he helps me overcome certain issues.   I still find myself battling some of the same fights that I have been fighting for the last decade.  Only thing that matters, however, is that I am still fighting.  I am overcoming my faults through God's spirit.  He is constantly and continually staying by my side just as he promises.

If you asked me two years ago if I was happy, I would have said no.  If you asked me the year before that and the year before that and the year before that.....and so on, I would have said no.  But, finally, I can say yes.  I am content with my life and happy to be who I am.

I guess the main reason behind my ability to be happy is that I have finally figured out who I am....

I am a child of God.
