Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. So far my Christmas break is going pretty good. I've had some stress, but I feel like I'm handling it well. Over all I am enjoying visiting family, and I wish the same for all of you. God bless, and I wish you all a safe New Year. I hope that the New Year brings healing, deliverance, peace, and joy to your life.

Joy Unspeakable

What to say about joy unspeakable...

     Over the past year I have come a very long way in my healing, and I continue to grow and heal. I have had at least two great life changing experiences with God that have really changed me. One was back on October 10th, and the other was over Thanksgiving weekend. What happened is mainly between me and God right now...I'm not ready to share the details with the world. But what I do want to share that has everything to do with these two experiences is...joy unspeakable. Almost on the daily bases I feel like I'm getting a clear view of what it means for me to just live life...to live it free from the bondage of my past. It's a glorious thing to be able to see that. And what's even more glorious is that I can feel joy entering into my spirit every time I get a glimpse of life...my life...free from bondage. Oh, joy unspeakable!!

     It's the kind of joy that lets me know that I'm on the right path, and that all will be ok. This is God doing a work in me that I cannot do myself. The fog of abuse is so thick that most of the time people have a hard time seeing their way out of it. When I get these glimpses of my life being on the right track it's like God's growing joy inside my soul!!!

     What I want you to know is that I'm a normal person, and I have my ups and downs. I don't usually go around all bubbly and joyful. I still have some struggles that need to be conquered, and I just haven't had the courage to share them with you. But what I do want you to be able to get from me sharing this with you is that it is possible to heal...to have genuine joy in your life again. I have found that the more I truly trust God to heal me the more He does, and the more joy there is returning to my life...entering and growing in my spirit, and I just praise God for it.
