Thoughts of a Grown up Teenager

I'm a teenager in a grown ups body. I'm not trying to stay here, but am in process. I used to say that I will never grow up. But, I'm on a journey to maturity. This blog will share my thoughts during this trip.

This is all Brennan Manning. God is using his book, The Rabbi's Heartbeat to change my life. Do I have the faith it takes to accept that Jesus accepts me as I am. He knows about the addictions and other behaviors that are so unholy. Can I believe that He loves me anyway? He knows how inconsistant and sometimes rebellious my walk with Him is. Can I believe that He loves me even in those times? That is what faith is all about. Brennan is right when he says that God already knows that we will never be perfect on this earth. Jesus does know my whole life story. But He also knows what I will do with it. Will I wallow in self pity and shame or use my story and brokeness to help others?
