Page 12-I was always an independent thinker, I’d like to consider it. But in all actuality, as I got older, I discovered I had a spirit of rebellion growing up inside me. This spirit caused me to believe that my way was the only way because it was the best way. In conducive to this, no one could tell me anything if it wasn’t aligned with my way of doing things. The spirit of rebellion brought on a spirit of arrogance. These two caused me to miss out on plenty of goodness and greatness God sent my way. However, God did not intend for me to be a victim or feel victimized. As a matter of fact, His intention for me was the opposite. I am to be victorious! God allowed His glory to shine upon me so that I may become a living witness of His goodness and kindness; His unconditional love, peace, faithfulness and the joy we receive from His Holy Spirit. But first, I had to learn to listen. Then I had to listen so I could learn...of Him, from Him and for Him.
