Hiding

I have been doing some thinking about this whole blog thing. Is it fair for me to block my site when I am having bad days? Is it fair for me to only post entries of me when I am on a high or have a new insight on life? How can I preach to everyone that it is okay to stumble and it is okay to be vulnerable because that is what God wants but the second I get in over my head I hide behind a blocked site? It isn't fair.

So I am going to say this, short and sweet. Do not look at me as someone who has it all together and is a super strong christian who does everything right. I struggle. A lot . And for some reason it is hard for me to announce that on a blog that I want to be only positive. But isn't true that we all have our bad days, we all fall short of perfections and we all are hiding something? I'll go ahead and answer that one for everybody, yes it is true. So I am going to work on sharing the tough days, the days that my struggles get the best of me and the days that my hope in God is lacking because I get those days often. I said I was going to do this blog to show my story of God growing in me and picking me up off the ground to place me on my feet once again. In order for me to give hope to people in my shoes I need to be sure I am not hiding behind blocked sites. Friends, it is not a walk in the park when deciding to turn your life around and dedicate it wholeheartedly to God. It is an emotional roller coaster with many drops and many highs. Do not hide. Work on it with me. Lets, together, take a step forward and be okay with bad days every once in a while. Lets be okay with life struggles because we all have them. And lets be okay with standing out in the open with our arms out stretched ready for the Almighty One to lead the way to a life free of bondage.

Remember, no one is perfect. We all struggle but we all want to look like we have it together. We can be truly and genuinely happy by admitting that we have a few loose screws in our brain and our lives are somewhat of a mess. Life is messy so no need to hide.
