Quote of the Day

"Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old." --Ralph Waldo Emerson.

This is the freedom I am fighting for. To not be a slave of my past, but to live a new life in God, radically, so I may come back and know that my past pushed me to the person I am now, and finally be at peace with it. I want the way I live to explain and overlook the old version of me... because I am convinced that the only way we can truly live in Christ's love is through freedom.

                                  It starts today, right now.

And it will start all over again when I wake up. I read somewhere that faith does not renew itself daily. It does not wait for you on the porch like a dog with the Sunday paper in his mouth. You have to make the choice, every day, to live faithfully.

This is what I am striving for.
