excess baggage

So I thought I would put more things down as life occurs.

I am about to embark on a life changing events and this will definately change my life.

But I must go through my excess baggage and let some old stuff out.

For as far back as I can remember, I've always felt that I was not like the rest of my cousins. I know that when I was a child I was sickly and fragile, in and out of the hospitals and more in then out. As a kid, I found my relatives "special" attention of me to be annoying but none the less understood and appreciated. But now as an adult, I found that there "special" care for me was nothing more than there lack of faith in my abilities and or talents. I never had there respect just there pity. They fear that I would never amount to anything... I would be completely worthless.

But then I am comforted with these words.

Job 28: 13 "Man does not comprehend its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living."

How do we or anybody know our worth or what we can do until we do them? How can I say to another you are not worthy of the sacrifices made for you?

Everyone of us is just as lost as the next person. ONLY GOD knows what we are all worth. How much you might ask? Well God stretched out his arms to the side and died on the cross for you.

With that I part with these words.

Romans 12:1 "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual[a] act of worship."

Live the life... God's life...

In HIS Service,
