If I don’t express the appropriate amount of angst over the circumstances of my own history, let alone over the ideologies that society holds up as being worthy of an overwhelming amount of angst such as: transgender rights, “wokeness”, systemic racism (which isn’t even a thing unless you make it a thing by revising and manipulating truth which is exactly what CRT, BLM and others are doing – successfully, by the way), “racist” rocks on college campuses, “whiteness”, use or misuse of transgender pronouns… the list can and does go on and on well, that alone could call for my cancellation. In our present day “cancel culture” world, anything and anyone that does not fall into step with the radical left agenda is up for being crossed off – canceled. The scars that I bear are evidence of healing and there is not a single thing, not a single moment that I would change about my life because I know that what God has done has been rightly done. God can do anything and what He has chosen to do in my life is what makes me beautiful and unique.


The reason: because I would be changing what God has done and I don’t want to do that, not even a little bit. Why would I want to change that? If I were to tell my story, and I have, people might wonder what I would change if it was, in fact, possible to do so. And my past is what it is because of who God is. I wouldn’t be the person that I am today without my past. What would happen if we could turn the clock back? Would we really change things? For the better? The worse? When I reflect on my life, the first thoughts that come into my mind are not, “If only I could go back and change this or that…” The memories that come directly to the forefront are those that highlight the ways in which I’ve seen God work in my life through the turbulence and storms.
