I've experienced life without the presence of God, and let me tell you that it's a very lonely place to be. I'm not turning back and I'm no longer going to do anything without His love, for I know that I am at my best when I am with my God.
Serving God while battling depression is okay.
Going to church with uncertain faith is okay.
Worshipping with a broken heart is okay.
God never called us to be perfect. He called us. Period.
Not all who glitter are gold.
