I openly admit that I am a mess.  I struggle with sin every single day.  Occasionally I am victorious, but I fail too often. 

All I know is that I cannot imagine how much worse things would be without Jesus. 

The forgiveness offered through the grace of Jesus has kept me moving forward.  The Holy Spirit empowering me over sin at times has been unnoticed yet beyond helpful.  The fellowship of other travelers on the road of faith has inspired me to keep the faith. 

Because of Jesus, I keep trying to improve, get up when I fall, and strive to be the person God wants me to be.

I am a mess, but I am thankful for the goodness of God that makes today much better than it could have been without him.
