Child of Eden

Hello there! I am starting a new blog, I have kept xangas in the past and I've realized that I really miss blogging. So here's a little back ground on my name, childofeden777 and the title of this blog. It's the title of a song by Joy Williams and has become one of my favorites. You can listen to it: Here

And here are the lyrics:

Eden was perfection a beautiful dream
There was no pretending everything was as it seemed
But she took the lust for life delivered it to man
Caving into the lies all the hiding began

That's part, part of who I am

I'm a child of Eden I'm a child of Eden, I have been
But I won't look back it's just my past
The story doesn't end for this child of Eden
I've had Eve's eyes of jealousy and shame
And Adam's disposition to worry and to blame
But I've had days when I found more in me
Forgiveness and mercy and I was truly free

I know, I know that's who I am

I'm a child of Eden I'm a child of Eden, I have been
But I won't look back it's just my past
The story doesn't end for this child of Eden
Oh, don't let me forget where I was without You
Don't let me forget the pain that You went through
Don't let me forget that I became Yours
When You spread out Your arms for me

The last lines I shared in the bold are truly something I've been praying in these last several months. I have been in a cycle of doubting and rebellion up until this past fall. I felt so unworthy of God's love so I stopped trying. 

I don't want to forget that I was totally lost without Him. 

I don't want to forget that He paid the price to set me free. 

And I won't.

Welcome to my journey. I'll hopefully update this often. :)

P.S. I'm gonna add stuff I wrote and post it as the date that I wrote it. This website is awesome!
