I have lived a hard life. It didn't have to be that way....Even tho God came to me at an early age and I thirsted for knowledge of him reading The Bible and every Bible Based book I could find about him from age 7, I did grow up and go thru peer pressure in school leading to mistakes. All the while the Lord stayed with me showing me when I was wrong to discontinue what wrongs I was doing. I got pregnant at 16 having her right after I turned 17 and to make right with God, I also married at age 17 to make it honorable. Jesus lived his life thru me. However, after a few years the devil tempted me and I got involved with drugs. That story would take awhile so to cut to the chase- It got to the point that I lost all I loved, my family and I was in a state of torment, destruction and bondage. I prayed and prayed to the God of my youth to help me and as always he provided me a way out. Now I'm off of drugs, back with my family and doing what I love...Teaching about God. I titled this blog "What goes around, Comes around," b/c at one time when I was a christian after my 1st child and 1st marriage I thought I was so self-righteous that I would judge other sinners who were drug addicted, thieves and say "I'll never be like that they are disgusting, an abomination to God." Well Jesus said in Matthew Chapter 7 verses 1-2 "Judge not, that you be not judged. For what judgement you judge, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you". Notice he said "BACK TO YOU". You see? Everything I put those people down for, I became later and I'm sure others looked down on me the same way I looked down on them. I lived simular lives to those people I put down. I ended homeless having to beg in the streets, having welfare pay for me and my 2nd child to live in a hotel b/c I was deemed unfit to take care of both of my kids and I made a fool of myself in front of strangers and my family while high on drugs. I was the abomination now. I felt awful. I never realized in my self-righteousness how hard and sad it really was for those people till I lived it myself. So, What goes around truly does come. around. But you know what? I'm glad it came back on me. Why? Some might ask. Because after all of the knowledge I gained thru The Bible and other books as a christian and the knowledge I gained from living in the streets I learned so many lessons that I am able to help alot of people, hopefully this passgae with Jesus' help, has helped you not to judge other people. No one knows whats in the hearts of other people but the LORD. Amen.
