Born with a purpose.

I have told you these things, so that in me you may

have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!

I have overcome the world.

John 16:33

Dear Me,

How would you know that your life would begin at the age of fifty?

It would take a full fifty years for you to surrender and face the fact that you alone are the problem.

Why would you think that just because you were baptized as an infant you would be spared a lifetime of hardship?

After all, you were born into a dysfunctional “Christian” home, a mother filled with the Holy Spirit and a father who worshipped the liquid spirits.

Did you really think a few drops of water on your precious, infant head would keep you out of jail and rehab?

When really after the baptism you were set free and eventually would succumb to the corrupt world.

Didn’t you see it coming?

You spent years abusing your body with alcohol and making poor choices.

Whose fault do you think it was?

I don’t blame you because you needed to experience life to really start living.

Do you know how bright your future is?

At the age of fifty-three you chose to be baptized, not just sprinkled with water, but full head immersion.

Do you know how proud I am of you?

God has big plans for you, just be patient and know your life is purposeful.

Talk soon,

Karen
