It just took all of that to come to a screeching halt, to get to the point of having nothing, for me to finally realize, "Hey, what are you fighting with this for?"
Until then, I hadn't claimed my faith as my own; I had just grown up with it. But I finally got to that point after years and years of running from God. Christ stepped in when I asked him.

| Scott Stapp (former frontman of Creed) |

Similar to my testimony.

Dear God... I'm sorry. I do stupid things. I want to walk with you but I keep getting distracted. There are no excuses. I don't want to stray. But the question that keeps coming up is 'Why bother?'. Why indeed...
You've always showed me hope when I had none. Little reminders that it is possible. Lord I pray that there'll be another oasis because I'm feeling lost and discouraged in this desert. Amen.

::: Quote of the Day :::
Keep doing that. Keep shooting yourself in your foot.
