It took me some time to realize the significance of being what most call the "golden girl." I never thought that I would ever be able to relate to others outside of that because " I haven't gone through what they have been through." Often times I have even been told that, and frankly its a little disheartening, only until you realize that your in a wonderful situation. With the fact of me not being a partier, drinker, smoker, etc. I don't have to worry about some of the things that many others worry about..I still have fun its just all in how you do a thing. This has saved me from many heartaches and lots of drama. I have come to the realization that I don't have to have gone through the things that this world has gone through in order to:
- teach people the way to go
- be happy
- be cool
I can just be me. I am an ambassador for the kingdom.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech youby us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20
Do ambassadors mess up sometimes? Most Definitely, at the same time though they spend their time advocating for God. I am learning that not everyone can understand the type of life that God blessed me to have. Yes, many have endured hardships and did things that they didn't want to do. I just wish that many would realize that once you sin once you don't have to do it again. You have full power over yourself, and I have tried to cultivate that as much as possible. I believe that if Jesus could lead a perfect life, then I can lead a close to perfect life as well!
| And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. 1John 4:17 NLV |

My life is still progressing and there is a lot a head of me, but everyday I pray that grow more and more perfect in God, through love. There is still more to come!
