I GOT MY FIRST TATTOO!
OK well it will be and is the only tattoo that I will ever get and I am just happy with that. I have wanted my "Jesus Fish" since I was about 11ish. The first time I wanted to commit sucide when the God saved my life I wanted something permenant on me to show/ remind me on a daily basis what he did to save me. It's something that means so much to me that I don't think that everyone would understand unless they have been with me through each of my breakdowns- where God has been to bring me back; no matter how rough it has gotten- this last breakdown I knew I needed to do it soon. I was loosing my faith again, I didn't think that after almost three months of trying to keep it together that I would, and then remarkably he was, he showed me the way to Dr's who would understand my situation better, help me with the meds and break through to being just me again. I know my mom will shoot me if she ever finds out- but this is for me. No one can ever say that I don't have God with me at all times or that I have no belief. This tattoo is my personal statement to myself to remember that as far down as I have gotten that God has been there too; and that as things got better God was still holding my hand; and that is never going to change.
People have already made comments that its dumb- not creative and idiotic statements but the statement I have made isn't for anyone else to judge, it's for me and only for me....and I love it.
So say what you will, ask to see it if you want but by all means don't make a remark about it without thinking of what your beliefs have done for you; because without God I would not be here today and I say that with all my heart(because without ever finding him I know that it would be true)
I wish everyone a happy new year- oh and Jennie I will be calling on you soon, miss you...
Love
