Y.O.L.O

 As I sit and think about this overly used term YOLO, I think about what it truly means. Since I've truly had a change of heart the term takes on a completely different meaning than it use to. Before I truly gave all my heart over to God yolo meant going out to the clubs, drinking, and just living it up. You only live once right? Satan had a hold on me. I was going Monday-Saturday living like a heathen then in church on Sunday. Some days I felt absolutely lonely and so heartbroken. Then when I was out living in sin for those few short moments I felt alive but when it was all over I was back to feeling as if I was WORTHLESS. Satan had lied to me and I believed every word of his lies. Satan calls me by my sin and I refuse to continue to allow that to happen. Almost two weeks ago I hit rock bottom and cried out to God to give me a change of heart because how I was living wasn't getting it anymore. I truly understood in that moment of crying out I had to give God all of me not just part of me! I realized I can't go intentionally live in sin and think God was gonna answer my prayers and be near to me.  I realized I had to make God the center of my life! Nothing else was to come before him in any kind of way. In that moment YOLO took on a new meaning to me. YOLO now means reaching out to people who I probably never would've reached out to before. Serving in ways I never served before and giving God the glory for ALL the things going on in my life. YOLO now means taking on the challenge of impacting the kingdom of God. I know the devil will be  there to tempt me to do wrong but I know with God on my side I can flee from the evil of my previous life. Amos 5:14-15
