God chooses the unlikely

I can relate to the above statement.

If you're like me, you grow up thinking of this perfect little life that you'd like to live.  And, if you're like me, you'll soon realize, it's not happening.

Although I was saved and baptized at the age of 16, I lived my life far from holy.  I was a rebellious teenager and ignored God most years after that.  Oh, I would pray to God when something came up that was stressful or difficult.  Or, if there was something that I really needed to happen, He would hear from me.

Because of all this, my life was not what I imagined.  But, because of all this, God chose me.  He chose an unlikely girl from West Virginia to show what He can do with someone's life.

He never left me, ever.  I'm so thankful that God chooses the unlikely.  The person that no one could imagine would ever make something of themselves. 

He appointed you and me to change the world.  He knew all this even before we were born.

Jeremiah 1:4-5 – " Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
