Humility
It's funny how God uses the worst situations to produce the best results in your character. What a paradox that is. When I try to step into the mind of God for just a second, I find myself completely exasperated and in need of major guidance. Why use the worst to produce the best? Why death? Why make us fallible? Why, why, why…and this is the answer I got…I AM.
I’m humbled by who he is. I’m humbled when I make a mistake that could ruin my life and he not only fixes it but in the process builds another brick on my wall of character. He never leaves me down for too long! I’m humbled every time I step on a stage knowing that the only thing that got me there was grace. There’s no room for “rock star” antics because I can’t see past the myriad of sin that has put me in a place of dependency on my Savior. There’s no way to think of yourself more than anyone else!!!! I’m humbled that He gives people close to me the patience to put up with me lol! I’m not that easy of a person to get a long with at times. I’m extremely driven and a hustler by nature so I can be incredible high strung, and yet he gives my band mates, my manager, my label a world of mercy so they can deal me =)
I’m humbled that I get to write this letter to you and you might actually read it and be inspired to be thankful for what you have and maybe even more so, become a student of humility. There’s no better class to graduate from.
God Bless

This speaks volumes to my life. It's nice to read about people coming out of the lions den of possible ruin alive. I find myself in the den right now. But I know that humbling myself and opening up my heart to the Lord will get me outta this bind.
I guess it's at our lowest moments that the Lord lifts us up high.
Thanks. :)
I had a similar experience about a month ago. I lie in bed thinking of all of the bad things gone wrong in my life and fell asleep. I dreamt God came to me and I kept questioning and questioning and then I tried to come up with clever questions standing before God. At the end, about 4 times, God said, I AM. I told my BFF, who probably thought I was crazy about my dream. But since then I know God Is and We are and it is within His Hands even if we do not see.
To hear you say the same thing that happened to you just confirms God always speaks to His children and comforts us when we do not always understand. Thanks for sharing your testimony and your humility. It is our Blessing we have G1C (my favorite Band).
"Why use the worst to produce the best? Why death? Why make us fallible? Why, why, why…and this is the answer I got…I AM."
that really spoke to me.
sometimes I forget that God's Will is perfect and there's a meaning behind every circumstance.
thanks for sharing your thoughts, God Bless
That is so true. I need to learn to be more thankful for what i do have.
Thanks Manwell, for some of the things you say. They help me to understand God better. And thanks for coming to Heavenfest, it was awesome!!! :)
