Random Thoughts with Tanya

I really haven’t said anything about this to anyone outside of my very small circle involved. I chose not to say anything about what I am working on in my life because it’s not about me. Tonight, I was working on some homework for my mentoring course I am going through. It’s a very in-depth book with a very small group of women. I don’t see myself as a teacher in any way. I see myself as someone who has had a lot of life experiences that make me relatable to so many people. At the very end of the chapter, I was working in it said, “Why Do I Teach?” I heard that word and thought about that question and my first thought immediately was because if it wasn’t for the Grace of God, it could have been me in almost any fill in the blank situation someone else has. I could give an endless list of dead-end darkness and destruction I have been on in my life. I have not only hurt myself, but I have hurt others. I have grown so much from that day I walked into a tiny church and asked for help. I have been loved and mentored along the way, but it was Gods Grace that saved me from so many things. If his Grace can save me then it can save anyone else. Truth be told his Grace still saves me every day. Thankfully he doesn’t have to pull me out of the same places he did before, but it’s nice knowing that there is someone out there that would be willing to pull you from the pits of hell if all you do is extend your hand.
