Integrity

Since beginning this blog, I have found myself, my faith, and my values tested. I am determined to maintain my integrity, but I must confess that it is not easy. I do not want to let go of my values. indeed, I feel that, if I let go my values, I let go of me - my very essence, my very purpose for existing. I feel I MUST be true to who I am and who I was raised to be, if I am to become the person I was created to be.

I am challenged in ways I have not been in over 20 years and yes, I am VERY nervous - even scared. However, I believe God has a purpose for what I am going through and, I don't know when, and I don't know how, but I believe He will not only bring me through this situation better off than when I entered into it, but I will also benefit the kingdom in ways that I could not have if I did not go through this.

I hope I do not get discouraged and selfishly keep this journey to myself. Rather, I pray that I will share this journey so that someone else who is going through, or maybe is about to go through this journey, may be comforted.
