Throughout the years, your vulnerability in sharing your struggles with confidence and moments of feeling defeated has had a profound impact on me. It is through these experiences that I have found encouragement. It is believed that God sets a lower standard so that we may continue to experience freedom. In times when we fall short of achieving a certain standard, He graciously ensures that we are still embraced and accepted in our moments of weakness.

Some of my most cherished memories were attending parties with non-believers. Despite not having addictive tendencies, the enjoyment I experienced outweighed any negative feelings the following day. I must confess, I took pleasure in my freedom to indulge as a sinner. If God cannot love me despite my occasional excessive behavior, then perhaps His presence is not truly all-encompassing. It is in those moments of vulnerability and honesty that we can truly connect with others. I have discovered that even in my moments of weakness, when I speak profanely, I am able to find solace in God's presence. My hope is that you too can find peace and rest in any circumstance you may find yourself in.
