Life lesson learned

So many life lessons we learn the older we get, but that is the point of getting older, right? What a waste of a life to get to be 60, 70, 80 years old and have not learned anything.
I don't know where my judgmental spirit came from, but it reared it's ugly head in my early 20's. When Javi and I were first married we found somewhere to attend church. As time went on we served at church. Then before you know it, we were in leadership at church. I believe God was pleased with our servant's heart and how we loved and supported our Pastors. Somewhere in the middle of all that the judgment came, not from God, from ME! My life and my view of churches became "us" VS "them". I thought everything our church did was right. If another church sang, prayed or talked differently they were wrong and God was not pleased with them. Now, 15 some years later I am learning and seeing the world and the Church through God's eyes. God doesn't care how we do church, He cares that we have the right heart and all we do is unto Him. I am so done with the hang ups and petty talk about this, that and another reguarding churches. I want want to impact the Kingdom, I want to see lifes changed and marriages saved. I am so glad I serve a God who covers me with grace and mercy everyday. I am so glad God did not give up on me when my heart was wrong and my attitute was shity. I want to see UNITY happen in the body of Christ and in His Church. God, whatever path you lead me down I will Go. YOUR will be done, not my own.

I am Javier's wife and Mikaela and McKenna's mom. But before that, I am the daughter of the most high King. I am loved, valued, accepted and adored by God. I love my life, and I love how God continues to keep me on knees!
