David Rim

Hello, my name is David. One of the many. I am just here to share my journey amongst you all. I tend to try things, try them again, and then move on. I fall down more often then not. Put on a poker face then continue walking on this journey of life.

The journey started many years ago, but the most noticeable moments begin here. It all started with a random DM. All they said was a "Hello". The day itself had all valleys/mountains of emotions. Shortly after the Hello I went back to work. Then I was being attacked with verbal slander, harassment, and other. My past was coming back to haunt me.

But the Hello brought me joy. It shielded me. Which also changed my trajectory. I've been wanting to end my life because the weight was too difficult to bare. That day would have been nice on my birthday. I am still standing here today though. Slowly, decided to take a step and socialize. Which was a balance of my mental, spiritual, and physical improving and being present.

As health started to improve I regained a sense of strength and new normalcy.

Although, I may have been present. I could not help but worry if my health would be okay. Worried about everything life and so hyper focused on my problems that it must have radiated. Many misunderstandings and communication unsaid. Were you listening to your ego this whole time? Did you seek Jesus first or your own strength before putting that label on me?

How many of you were proactive? How many of you asked the right questions? How many of you believe in Jesus but don't move like Jesus? How many of you just listen? How many of you spread gossip? Jesus wants to keep us at peace. A spirit that will boldly move in response.

Just wanted to share this one verse that I've tied my heart to over the years. "Look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:4

So when we take a step back before making a human judgement. I take a walk in their shoes first. I seek what they truly want before my own selfish desires. I rather have a smile on your face to give you the gift of an ah-ha moment is what brings me joy.

Tell me this who of you hear dislike something. Why do you dislike it without even talking to them or trying to understand them. Today, I am here just to share my current status. I am walking slowly faithfully with Jesus at the center.

Knowing that, my focus is on healing and me me me. I've been fighting things alone and learning that sometimes I need the shoulders of others. And the deepest thing in my soul is missing piece of understanding. Some people just get it and don't sweat the small details. Here's the five don’t worry about the change. Many are those who are quick to judge by the cover. But I am trying not to make a fuss about it. Just wishing you bright people learn to peel the layers of the onion. I have a long road to go still. Lately, curious about the team that will be with me as I continue the work in the background.
