So much has been happening lately, both good and bad, but even those smooth out over time and I see that it was only bad in the moment. The past couple of months have been amazing and a learning experience all at once. This past month, I continued the cleaning process that I begun almost a year ago. I finally decided, along with Marie, to let go of our pasts that were holding us down as we lived in bondage to it stronghold on us. So we sat down one night and burned our pasts together as a sacrifice to God and for them to be forever placed in His hands. We took old writings, poetry and journals, pictures and items that were weighted down in negative and oppressive memories. Memories that were filled with pain and held us back from joy for so many years, I mean, why keep holding on to those things? I learned what I needed to learn from those dark periods in my life, so it was time to burn the past and the journals that I took so much care and time crying over and bleeding in, marking the pain and misery. To see those things going up in flames felt so good and I felt the chains that bound me, break loose and set me free, MY FATHER IN HEAVEN HAS SET ME FREE!!! When I became a new creation in Christ, all those things were wiped clean from my heart and soul, but it took me this long to realize that I had to physically remove those stains as well. God has been so good to me over the years, and I constantly thank Him. There have been times recently that I haven't been as deep into The Word as I have, but it is on my conscience and the Spirit is upon me moving me to do what is right, growing me in His presence, my Father God. There is new life within me, and I walk with absolute joy in my life, the first in a long time. God has answered prayers and is still continuing to work wonders in my life and in the lives of those around me. I have witnessed the power of prayer and its continuing effect with friends and loved ones, I have also seen protection over people in their times of need. I am grateful and thankful to have seen such wonderful works!
His presence can not be denied and I owe it all to Him, my everything, my all. Thank you Father for all your mighty works in my life and for loving me and keeping me close even in times that I fall. You are amazing and completely my strength. In you I place my trust and I am so in love with you Father!
