The Growth

I've changed a lot over the past few years and have overcome many obstacles and fears. 

One of them was other people's criticism of who i am. 

I've changed a lot. I'm always changing. God is continually moulding me into His warrior.

I'm a completely different person to who i was even 2 years ago.

Some people see my change as a bad thing but i see it as a good thing.

You're supposed to be changing, you're not supposed to be the same person you were a few years ago.

Before i didn't deal with people's criticism too well. I would freak out if i found out that some person doesn't like me so i would try to fit in in every way i could to make sure that everybody liked me.

It's exhausting, y'know.

But the past few months i've changed ... again.

Now i can confidently walk around and not care. Some may think that i've drawn away from God and am following my flesh but they don't know anything about me. 

Seriously? You want to judge me on the fact that i have dreadlocks? Or *gasp* an eyebrow/nose piercing? 

Go ahead.

But ...

I know that God loves me.

I know.

And i don't need your stamp of approval.

Don't let other people control you.

Follow God and His Torah.

That's all that matters.
