Ok ,so I’m up! Tomorrow I am suppose to share my story with our Mom’s Village, I thought I had it nailed, I could easily jot down all the details and circumstances of my life, read it off my list to them and then do the all expected salvation story. I accepted Christ and My life changed and now I am so different, now i am happy, and everything is wonderful. For real, I was really going to do that, what a chicken! But I don’t know, I just kept hitting this wall, God was so not going to let me do that. So He has slowly taken me through the book of Matthew this week, I read from The Message, WOW, I have been blown away. The Message really draws you in, and I have found myself unable to walk away, Seriously, I am not kidding. I still have no idea what I will share or what i will say, every day I am being pulled to another area of my life, my story, of who i really am, and it is so hard and most of the time it hurts really bad. Yet with each pull the weight of the massive burden i have carried begins to slip off, and more and more of my heart becomes free from satan’s grip. I think that I have cried more this week then I have cried in months, God is moving , and even in the midst of brokenness I find rest.

"Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not presume to say to yourselves, ' we have Abraham as our father,' for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. Even now the axe is being laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
