Who was I?

It was just brought to my attention that my life has not always led people in the right direction. ha duh!!! I just reciece a message from an old friend that I knew in high school and she had seen me at a church here in Angelo a couple of weeks ago and she was congradulating me for my new found salvation. At first I was kind of offended, but then I realized that my testimony to her in high school was obviously not one that showed her that I was a christian. WOW! That is deffinately a 1, 2 punch for someones pride. It really struck me and again I started thinking about how many other people either have no idea who God is or have a bad impression of who God is because of my behavior in certain times of my life. Its tough to take something like that when you have been a Christian since you were 6, but, it again sure humbles you and gets your focus back on track. That is one of those things that people that know you well would never tell you but it takes someone who has just a basic knowledge of who you are to really give you the truest and clearest image of everything about you and they do it in a way that is not offensive at all, but makes you think. Again I see how my life and the grace and mercy that I have been shown has impacted people that I never even thought of it impacting. It is amazing to me how God uses every little bitty thing about us for His glory. I am soo humbled by all that has happened and the grace that I have been shown.
