I am…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

…in need of God's amazing grace.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

…in need of God's mercy to show up daily in my life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

…in need of accountability from others.  Not from those who condemn but those who will tell me the truth and walk with me toward freedom.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

…broken.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

…capable of betraying that which matters most for that which is hollow and fleeting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

…always in need of Jesus being Jesus.  His name means savior and daily I need him to save me from the world, flesh, devil–from myself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

…more than willing to build a brand of myself for public consumption that creates a huge gap between who I am and who other's perceive me to be, only to live daily with the haunting knowledge that I can't be who I have told others I am.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

…one who needs to be reminded that it is possible to sin much and yet, end up loving God even more.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Say it with me…I am Tiger Woods!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
