I wonder...

 I wonder what I would have been like, had I not fallen in love with Jesus. There's no telling the ridiculous decisions I would have made, or how many people I would have allowed to take advantage of me. I think that if I would have never became a christian and a pastors wife, then right now I  might be living out one of these 2 scenarios...which makes me wonder if I'm a little bi-polar, because they are so opposite!
1. I would be...
Worshipping "mother-nature". You know, one of those hippy-type, eating organic granola , wearing hemp jewelry and peasant skirts. Painting in the park.
I would have many, many tattoos
I would give much of my time and money to "good-causes", that have nothing to do with the Kingdom of God.
Or...
2. I would be...
A rock star
I would wear skinny jeans and super mod tops or vintage band t's, everyday. 
I would have a bright-pink streak through my hair
I would have many, many tattoos (hmmm?)
I would be completely worshipping myself and giving in to my sinful desires.
I would be deep into debt due to spending all of my money on designer jeans, shoes, etc... 

With either of these scenarios, I would be...
Hopeless. Wondering why these things that are so appealing to me, have left me so empty.
Thank you God for rescuing me from what I could have been!
I am beyond thankful to be living a life fulfilled, through Jesus Christ.

That's very interesting....I cannot imagine you as either of those, it just doesn't seem like you. I would probably be married to that army guy, in germany with him, and giving myself to someone I don't truely love. So I'd probably be in germany, living on base, and I'd probably be pregnant by now....wow! Me? Pregnant?...too innocent right now...I got alot to learn first!
