$20 Dollar Bill


So I had to drive this am to Charlotte, yes at a lovely 4:40 in the morning!!!! not very fun, but anyways. On my way I was listening to one of the Christian radios that came on, and it was this lady teaching to women. She was sooo funny!! but anyhow, she mentioned something that kinda got stuck with me, so I'd thought I'd share. She said.... (I'm paraphrasing of course..lol)  "A $20 dollar bill will always be a $20 dollar bill even if you crinkle it, and spit on it, and write on it, you can drag it across the mud if you wanted to, but it will still be a $20 dollar and it will still have value, so that you may use it. ( although many people may not be too happy about taking it..lol) In the same manner, we are the same way. When I accepted Christ as my Savior, I became his child. I may get thrown around, I may sin, I may disappoint,  I may have some really low days and think that I am completely worthless...but in God's eyes I AM STILL HIS CHILD AND I STILL HAVE VALUE!!!!
It was really cool, cuz lately I've been struggling with "being worth" if that makes sense. I know that God has a will for me, it's just going very slow for me, so i get a bit frustrated at times :-) but I'm so glad that even at 4am God can still speak to me!! :-) hehe...

ok back to work...hopefully i won't fall asleep before noon, cuz I'm SOOO taking a nap!!! :-)
