Forgiven

Around the time I was finishing the final chapters of My Million-Mile Journey, I was sitting cross-legged on my yoga mat in the basement listening to a Christian Contemporary channel on Pandora, deep breathing and stretching after a session on the treadmill. A song by MercyMe began to play, one I had heard many times before. This time was different. I’m not sure if it was my mood, frame of mind or the stillness of my soul that allowed the lyrics to sink in more deeply than they had before. As I listened, the music and the lyrics touched me in a profound way. I believe God was speaking to me through this song. As I sobbed alone there on the floor of my basement my heart changed. I finally forgave myself for my younger years. Check it out.
