My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Okay, so I'm not Greek, I don't think I'm fat (well at the writing of this I don't think so) and I didn't have a wedding but I was watching the movie as I spent some endless time chatting on facebook and Tula's brother say "Don't let your past dictate who you are but let it be a part of who you will become". I've watched this movie countless times and this finally stuck out to me.

If the things that I've seen, done or heard dictated who I am today, first off, I probably wouldn't even be alive but I would also never have found grace. I now can appreciate it for what it was. At the time, it was hell and I all I wanted to do was to find something "better" but now, I see it as a blessing. It has become a part of me and I'm "proud" of my past. It has caused me to fall on my knees and cry out for a Savior who, despite my past, has called me His own :)
