Born into Sin. Brought into Grace. My Story.

"My name is Arial. I am 16. And I am a daughter of the Most High God. Anything else is irrelivant." You might have seen this on my blogs. I rather liked the way it sounded, and it has stuck for almost a year now. But it's wrong. The more I think about it, the more I see that indeed while other things might not be as important as the ones listed, they are important. So bear with me, and I will elaborate on who I started out as. I was not born into a saved home. You could go as far as to say I was born in all out sin and not be lying. My parents met in a bar, and as many people who meet in bars do, they went home together that night. My mother and father within 2 years, had become engaged, had their very own business, and their very own baby. Anyhow, they did not have insurance. And here is the biggest part of my point today - 2 men they worked with, a 'couple', were on Indigent Care, meaning they paid nothing for medical bills. When these men heard that my mother was pregnant without insurance, they gave her a card that would insure I was taken care of. Yes. You could say I was brought into this world by just about every round-about-way possible, and I wouldn't dare argue. I'm proud of it. Here's why- I was born over a month early. I could not eat without a tube down my throat. I was 'at risk'. In all honesty, I wasn't given the strongest start. And had those men not given my mother that card, that $20,000 medical bill for my birth would have been a burden on my parents, one that migth have ended the relationship. Had those doctors not known the people they worked for would get fully paid, would I have been catered to so generously as I was? Only God knows. There are two things I can see in this story, they might be different that what you receive from it, but in my eyes they are true. We are all born into sin. Some of us more so than others. But God takes all things and all people and turns them into vessels for His Glory. And - Do not ever judge someone - don't judge a situation. Two sinners out looking to "have fun" fell in love. And began a life together that resulted in new life. A life that mey very well have kept those two people in their relationship long enough for both of them to find God. 2 men, though lost in their ways, had enough compassion and love for humanity and my parents to say "It's taken care of." when hearing my mother's fears of doctor bills. Say, think, comment what you will. This is how I started. God made it all happen as it did for a reason, or many reasons. Who am I to say I've discovered why yet? It doesn't matter how you began. Whether you were from a broken home, a one night stand, or things considered worse - You are who God made you to be. And He put us all here the way He saw fit. Jesus started in an animal shed. Look where He ended up :) GOD WILL USE ANYONE, IN ANY SITUATION, AND TURN THEM INTO A LIGHT AND A VESSEL FOR HIS GLORY. REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU BEGAN, YOU ARE HERE, HE IS WITH YOU, AND HE HAS PERFECT PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE.
