It is not easy for me to open myself up to the world.  I am a private person who enjoys being in the background listening to all that is going on around me.  For as long as I can remember my faith has been strong and my concern for others deep.

Before I understood faith, I thanked God for the good and for carrying me through the tough times.  Even when I didn’t realize it, my faith has always been my first priority. 

I believed without a doubt and yet had very little knowledge regarding Jesus.  I felt God’s presence with me and silently gave thanks for all that I was given.

The unusual twist to my faith was that I was unable to grasp the concept, yet I was living my life in total reliance.  I knew without a doubt that God had my back, but I didn’t have the knowledge to understand the connection between the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.

As an adult, my time with Mary Kay Cosmetics helped me put words into how I live my life.  I was surrounded by faith-based women who taught me how to lead by example.  Always putting faith first, followed by family and career. 

I never had a need or desire to talk about my faith.  In addition, I never felt it necessary to question the strength of my faith.  The details were not important to me until I was pushed out of my comfort zone and challenged to write this blog.    

How may I have avoided some of my not-so-wonderful sins along my journey?  As I read the Bible and study notes as an adult, I see how many situations could have been avoided had I taken the time to dive into the word sooner. 

I was pretty clear on what was right and wrong, but I did not always choose the right path.  Sometimes I choose the wrong path for understandable reasons.  Unfortunately, it was still the wrong path! 

Rarely do I find myself thinking, “What if…”.  I will admit; however, that as I read the Bible, I find myself thinking of times in my life where having a stronger biblical knowledge as a young adult, would have proven most helpful on my journey!
