Bio
sinr svd is what some of us should be or what some of us are. It is not a lifestyle or a way to make yourself better, it has a far more meaningful purpose. It represents a moment in life when there was a need to turn back. A need to stop the worlds influence from allowing me to be who I was meant to be. Its when I thought that in my brokenness, in my despair, when circumstances seem to be more than I could handle and I thought there is no one to turn to, but I am here to tell you—there is!
The drive to know my purpose and the need to know the answers to life’s most pressing questions are available. I found meaning beyond my luke warm religion and traditions, beyond the constraints of all the things I’ve been told. I found the hope, peace and love that had escaped me.
sinr svd means that even in my goodness, I can’t be good enough, even in my wanting to do right, I couldn't be right enough, or when I thought I didn't need help, I really did. I had to set aside all my pride, self-sufficiency, and start to deny myself. It means knowing that what I called bad habits was really seen as sin in God’s eyes. Its knowing that I've lived my life absent of God, absent of being his child. That’s who we were made to be!
Acknowledging this meant that I was one step away from reconciliation. One step away from returning to my Heavenly Father. He’s was always ready and willing to forgive me, as I put my faith in his son Jesus Christ, and accepted the free gift of eternal life. One thing I learned is that when I tried to fix myself, life never worked out, but when I let Jesus do it, he worked my life out. Take the first step. Pray to God and tell him you want him in your life. Ask him to reveal himself. What if you did and he showed up? He did for me.
Much Love!
