Favorite Quote:
I&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control at times and hard to handle. But if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you don&#039;t deserve me at my best.<br /> - Marilyn Monroe

I sinned; I felt the guilt hang over me. It was like a noose choking me. I couldn't breathe. I asked for forgiveness yet I still couldn't breathe. Then I saw a Child of God... The smile on their face. The joy of their heart. By the happiness of that child, I knew God has forgiven me then.

The author's comments:
I have asked and asked to be forgiven yet sometimes it feels like I will never be. But children always somehow remind me who I live for and how much God will always love me.
