All my wrong Decisions, Mistakes, and the Miracles that follow

Is there really such thing as a mistake? If God really is who He said He was then I'm coming to the conclusion that a mistake is nothing less than a GRAND OPPORTUNITY! So ya, I was set free from drugs and all the junk that comes with that. I was given my hearts desires of a beautiful amazing wife, great job, and all the other "things" that can make me "happy"...but I made some mistakes. Let me be transparent for a minute. I am now a 28 year old divorced man living in a mission. WHAT!!! I know what your thinking...no, not you(haha). Here is the really really really really cool thing that I not only think, but know. Jesus did not come for the Holy, well put together, World-smashing (little p) popes of yesterday, today, or tomorrow. HE came for the broken, lost, and down-n-out end-of-the-line nothing-but-HIM warriors of the generations! He just wants an open vessel. Hey God...use me. Hey God...I'm available. Alright, catch this...What if we (CEO's, homeless people, parents, families, Pastors, teens,) all said, "why not me? I'm available". Here comes the beautiful exchange...the ashes for beauty if you will. When an offended heart shifts to a submitted heart all the desires of that heart become alive again. Our ministry, purpose, job, and even ex-wife go from "ours" to "HIS". I tend to be on the side of the fence that believes God is THE RESTORER of our FAITH. I kinda think that what the enemy has taken away, God will put back better than before. Our thinking goes from horizontal to vertical, from inward to outward, from backwards to onward! We finally understand that "faith of a mustard seed". Why?...because we have spent time with the Lord and have a track record with Him. We have seen Him do things before and know that he will do them again. Faith is.... So the crux of it all is pretty simple. God has a plan. As we take our own path for a hot minute and make all kinds of "mistakes" God is re-routing the path to GREATNESS! I honestly don't think there is any other option than the highest calling. So ya, WHY NOT ME! WHY NOT US! WHY NOT THIS GENERATION! The first will be last and the last will be first, for many are called but few are chosen...the chosen just answer the call and allow their mistakes to turn into miracles! -Nola-
