so i dedicated my latest tattoo to God... as a thank You and a reminder and because i know He will use it for His glory... and He is amazing in that people have already begun to see it and ask me what it means and it gives me the chance to tell them my testimony about all God has done for me in my life through His grace and mercy... the beautiful thing about God is He is faithful to give me what i ask for when it draws others to Him... He is sooo awesome in that way... i admit i did have some reservation about getting tattooed again because there is one scripture that says not to get tattooed...

Leviticus 19:28 (New International Version)

 28 " 'Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.

and i know how i prefer to do my will over God’s will... and then the guilt settled over me and i wondered if He would love me despite the tattoos... but i prayed about it and i told Him i wouldn’t do it, if He really didn’t want me to... so the day i went for it, i figured He would stop me in my tracks if He didn’t want me to have it... by putting obstacles in my way... but the obstacles never came... everything went very smoothly... and when i got to the shop and told them what i wanted, the kid who did the tattoo asked me what it meant and i told him, without hesitation, “this is the day Jesus Christ saved my life!” and he said, “that’s awesome! i am a Christian too!” how great is our God? since getting saved last year i have been on a mission... and it is to simply tell people how God saved my soul and to let people know He loves them... no matter who they are... no matter what they believe... God knew i would be tattooed all along and that people would be drawn to those tattoos and He has given me the courage to speak His love to those who are drawn and has used my tattoos for His glory! i have no doubt He will use them again and again and i am thankful for the opportunity to do His work... 8-)
