WHY DO I WRITE THESE?

MY BROTHER CAME HOME FROM LAFAYETTE THE OTHER DAY AND WAS TELLING ME WHO ALL HE HAD SEEN FOR MARDI GRAS.   I ASKED HIM ABOUT CERTAIN PEOPLE AND HE TOLD ME HE HAD SEEN MOST OF THE PEOPLE I ASKED ABOUT.  HE TOLD ME THAT ONE PERSON HAD ASKED HIM," WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR SISTER?  SHE IS ALWAYS PUTTING NOTES AND WRITING ALL KIND OF STUFF ON FACEBOOK".  I HAD TO LAUGH.  HE SAID HE TOLD THAT PARTICULAR PERSON THAT ALOT OF THINGS HAD CHANGED ABOUT HIS SISTER HERE LATELY.  HE TOLD HER THAT I SPEND MOST OF MY TIME READING AND STUDYING THE BIBLE.  HE TOLD HER THAT I AM ALWAYS WRITING AS I READ. 

THIS MORNING WHEN I GOT ON FACEBOOK, I HAD A COMMENT FROM SOMEONE I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH.  SHE THANKED ME FOR POSTING ONE OF MY NOTES.  SHE SAID SHE REALLY GOT SOMETHING OUT OF IT.  SHE SAID IT SEEMED MEANT FOR HER TO READ THAT TODAY. 

THATS WHY I POST ALL OF THESE NOTES.  I ACTUALLY GET A BLESSING EACH TIME I HEAR OF SOMEONE READING OR GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF WHAT I WRITE.  I HAVE OFTEN FELT THAT IF I EVER TOLD PEOPLE HALF OF THE THINGS I HAVE DONE, SEEN OR BEEN THROUGH, THAT PEOPLE WOULD SAY I WAS LYING.   I KNOW I WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING ME IF I WAS SOMEONE ELSE.  I SEE TODAY THAT I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH OTHERS.  I LOVE BEING ABLE TO RELATE TO PEOPLE AND TO MAYBE OFFER SOME ENCOURAGEMENT.

TODAY, I AM STARTING TO REALIZE EXACTLY WHY GOD ALLOWED ME TO GO THROUGH SO MUCH.  THERE WAS ACTUALLY A PURPOSE FOR EVERY WRONG, SINFUL AND EMBARASSING THING I EVER DID.  I LIVED TO TELL ABOUT IT BECAUSE GOD HAS A PURPOSE.  I KNOW TODAY THAT GOD CAREFULLY ORCHESTRATED EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT ME.  I CAN RELATE TO THE WOMAN AT THE WELL IN THIS WAY.  SHE THOUGHT HE WAS A STRANGER, BUT HE IMMEDIATELY TOLD HER ALL THERE WAS TO KNOW.

I AM STILL NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT GOD HAS IN STORE FOR ME IN MY FUTURE.    BUT I DO KNOW ONE THING, HE SPENT ALOT OF TIME ON ME.  HE KEPT ME ALIVE FOR A REASON.  I AM TRULY SPECIAL TO HIM.  I AM ONE OF HIS MASTERPIECES. 

AND YOU ARE TOO!

EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL TO OFFER TO HIM AND TO OTHERS!
WE SERVE SUCH AN AWESOME, LOVING GOD!

I HOPE THIS NOTE HAS ENCOURAGED SOMEONE TODAY!  I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT WHAT GOD IS DOING IN MY LIFE!  I WISH MORE OF MY FRIENDS COULD FEEL THE WAY I AM FEELING.  AND YOU CAN!  IF HE DID IT FOR ME, HE CAN AND HE SURELY WILL DO IT FOR YOU!
