I am blessed, not because of Apostolic heritage or who my parents are...and the fact that I am cute and sweet has absolutely nothing to do with my blessing.

I am blessed because of who He is and what He did for me on the Cross. He who was without sin or shame took mine upon Him so that I could live free from the bondage of sin, death, hell, and the grave.

I am blessed because I recognize His love for me and choose to be blessed.

I am blessed in spite of the doubters who said that I was a hopeless case and would NEVER come to the Lord.

I am blessed in spite of the gainsayers who spoke against me AFTER I came to the Lord and failed...they wondered aloud if I could run again.

Well, I am STILL here!!

Not because I am all that and a bag of chips, but because of grace and mercy. They run after me 24/7, extending again and again that which I know more than y'all just how underserving I am.

I am blessed!!

And this blessing that has so richly been given to me, I extend to others...born to be a blessing is what I am, and can do no less.

I am blessed with friends who speak the word of truth in the storm...thank you!!

I am blessed because I choose to be blessed!!

CC1, someone reminded me today that in every situation there is a high road and a low road...the road I take is my choice.

I know it's hard to believe, but not everyone is going to like me.

Not everyone is going to agree with me.

Not everyone wants me to succeed.

Not everyone wants me to be a giver...except maybe to them.

Not everyone wants to hear my opinion.

Not every situation is going to work in my favor.

But in spite of it all, I am blessed!!

I am blessed with a reasonable portion of a right spiritual mind, and tonight I am blessed with the knowledge that I will never go wrong when I take the high road.
