Komplete Life Makeover!

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about the life I used to lead. I am finally repulsed by all the things of my past. I never thought I would be blessed enough to get this point. I thought everything would be a huge struggle every day into forever, (Alright I am finally gonna use the one word I hate more than any other) but it truly is a "tender" mercy on the lords part that I don't have any of the life sabotaging tendencies nor the desire to repeat them each and every day.

To be honest I have always liked my church, and deep down have always known it is true. I would like to add that being born into the covenant and being a member of our church from the day I was born gave me my roots. Without my parents raising me with this firm foundation I strongly believe I never would have made it to this point in my life. And now in 3 days I will be in the temple. I don't know if looking back to where I was a year ago anyone, let alone myself would have believed I would ever make it to the temple.

I am so excited that this day is here, and that I finally realized with A LOT of time and hard work YOU really can change! Who knew you don't have to act or be what someone makes you out to feel like, or what you feel labeled as for past mistakes. You are more! Believe it or not you can change, and actually find real lasting happiness. I am glad I finally took that leap of faith and realized that I AM MORE then the sum of my past mistakes, and that even I deserve to be happy and enjoy life.

Temple and Eternal Happiness here I come.

Below is a song that has become a fast favorite of mine. I can't count how many times I felt like this girl in the song, but now I finally got it. Hope you will take a second to really read the words, i even have this song on my blog, hope you will listen to it.

YOU ARE MORE

There's a girl in the corner

With tear stains on her eyes

From the places she's wandered

And the shame she can't hide

She says, "How did I get here?

I'm not who I once was.

And I'm crippled by the fear

That I've fallen too far to love"

But don't you know who you are,

What's been done for you?

Yeah don't you know who you are?

You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.

Well she tries to believe it

That she's been given new life

But she can't shake the feeling

That it's not true tonight

She knows all the answers

And she's rehearsed all the lines

And so she'll try to do better

But then she's too weak to try

But don't you know who you are?

You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.

You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.

'Cause this is not about what you've done,

But what's been done for you.

This is not about where you've been,

But where your brokenness brings you to

This is not about what you feel,

But what He felt to forgive you,

And what He felt to make you loved.

You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.

You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.

You've been remade

You've been remade.

You've been remade.

You've been remade.
