I was sitting up thinking about how wild I really was when I was younger. I mean wild in the sense that I was always ready—ready to do just about anything without fear of consequences.

There were times I was ready to fight. Not because I went looking for trouble, but because someone had messed with me or someone I loved. And honestly, I didn’t care what came after. I was always prepared to respond. My mouth? Even worse. I would say anything. Sometimes it was so bad that, looking back now, I would’ve had to fight myself if someone had said those things to me.

But now, when I look back, I can clearly see something I didn’t understand then:
God allowed me to walk through those seasons for a purpose.

I don’t fully know how He’s going to use it yet, but I know this—it’s going to shake something up for the Kingdom.

Through all of this, He’s been teaching me self-control, wisdom, and restraint. Things I didn’t have back then, but desperately needed. And what amazes me most is this:
God is faithful enough to take the very things that once worked against me and use them for my good.

I can’t wait to see how He turns what once felt bad into something powerful.
