Some need to re-learn this:
Woman = singular.
Women = plural.

God’s not looking for perfection, He’s looking for surrender.

Heck, it's been rough on all of us!

My former pastor used to say, “be always transparent, but selectively vulnerable.”

There’s a lot of wisdom there, and I’ll be honest - I don’t know if what I’m about to share here is transparency or vulnerability…

But here it goes…

If you support or have been following me any length of time, you’ve heard me say that our founding fathers pledged to each other their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor for the cause of liberty…

And that I have resolved within myself to do the same.

That remains true to this day.

What you might not have known is that these last 4 years have taken its toll and cost me a lot… friends - family - relationships - money - and then some.

I’ve always tried to be open about the fact that as a candidate, I’m running to be your representative and your voice… not to be your pastor, your savior, your role model, or be some super hero.

As a flawed candidate, I’ve tried to remain humble… although I’m certain I’ve fallen short at times.

These past few months specifically have been very humbling and challenging for me, my emotional, mental, and spiritual health.

Like many of you, I struggle with whether I’m good enough, worthy enough, deserving enough, or qualified enough.

Even though it comes with the territory, one of the things I’ve struggled with has been the caricature people have created of me in their minds.

Truth is, I’ve had my ups and downs over the last 42.5 years of life on this planet - success and failures alike - but overall I’ve been extremely blessed.

But I’m also self-aware enough to acknowledge that I haven’t always been a good steward of what God has blessed me with.

I’ll spare you the details for now, but not forever.

That said, there’s an old saying “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

Sometimes you know with an absolute certainty what your next move is and what you’re gonna do - and it would take a literal act of God or a monumental life event to force you to step back and take pause, gain some perspective, and reflect.

Can anyone relate?

Because that’s been me these past several months.

That said, I want you to know that no matter what you’re going through - when it feels like all hope is lost - if the word “desperation” barely skims the surface of your circumstances…

I want you to know there is a God who loves you, who sees through the caricatures others have created of you… who sees through your pain and sees a purpose.

As long as you have breath in your lungs, you have a bounty on your life…

But that bounty was paid for - in full - by Christ on Mount Calvary.

And if the value of something is determined by what someone is willing to pay… and God bankrupted heaven for you… what does that say about your value?

So like me, even though you may feel inadequate, struggle with depression, and question your own value…

Take solace in the fact that you are dearly loved and God has predestined you before the foundation of the world - you are not here my accident.

You exist for such a time as this.

You are exactly where you need to be.

Whether you FEEL like it or not…

Because facts don’t care about your feelings… and Truth trumps facts.

Choose the Truth of who God says you are, not the feeling of who everyone else wants you to be.

Be sure to bring up politics today. It might save you money on Christmas gifts.

I’d much rather deal with the problems caused by too little government than the problems caused by too much government.

Your next blessing often on the other side of your greatest frustration.

To combat lies effectively, we can’t just speak the Truth… we must live it.
