Living Life Full On-Toast Master Speech

The recounting of my trip in 2014 as a practice Toast Master speech. The Trip that inspired the name and mission of this beloved blog of mine ;)

It's Not Over Yet

My heart is brimming right now...I have felt so numb lately, but right now I need to express joy and awe at the Grace of God. I spent time talking to God today and I realized that I was stuck in a story of excuses as to why I was dying inside, and basically being pathetic...I was BELIEVING that story!!!

I realized it was a LIE...deep down, I knew what was really holding me back, but I was scared of admitting it, scared that I would disappoint myself, God, others...So I have tried covering it all up with a big FAT story!

But today I felt PAIN, because I realized the only thing that story has gotten me is...disappointment, shame, grief, depression, even physical health struggles...

ONE THING I KNOW, GOD WILL NEVER STOP LOVING ME, AND HE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO FORGIVE AND HELP ME ONCE I HUMBLE MYSELF AND REACH OUT. I AM SO OVERWHELMED WITH THE LOVE HE HAS FOR ME :)

Each of us are God's lambs. Each of us at one point or another have strayed and need rescued and brought back to the love and safety of the fold.

I am ready to break out of this story and run back into my Savior's open arms. "To everyone who's hit their limit, It's not over yet!"(King and Country-It's not over yet). It is time that I turned to God and let Him guide my life again :) 

KEEP on fighting, its not over yet!
