I am just saying "Hi" ~ I am good. I got to attend the Beth Moore simulcast Fri night and Sat morning ~ Wow! I had some powerful truth delivered, and I received it! I shared some with T and let him into a deep wound of mine, that since he has known me, he has even made worse. I don't trust a lot of men for the same reason. So I finally let him in to see and even though his reaction was flat, I am free of the shame and guilt and bondage. I feel the freedom!!! I wanted to jump and dance all day!

One of the most powerful truths regarding shame and on my quest for freedom, was "you know the dirt satan likes to throw in your face, and it keeps you in shame, well God pours His spirit all over it and makes it 'good soil,' for the planting of good seed/God's word! And then that seed planted in good soil, can root, and grow and harvest 100 fold!!!!!! I place my hand over my heart and claim that word for myself!

I mean can we say WOW!!!

By the way she taught on Luke 8:1-15, the parable of the sower. I am so blessed I got to go!

We then after church went to my little bro's daughters bday party. Ki swam and played and ate, and she even jumped off the diving board!!!! She is so brave!

There are a few prayers I want to extend ~
For Steve and his family/ Nome :( I am broken hearted for you;

Also, there were two boys from our community involved in an early morning crash Sunday, and one had to be Careflighted. I heard one broke his nose, and will be ok, and the other had multiple fractures in one of his legs, one was a compound (sticking through the skin) break, his femur, and he broke both the fibula and tibia in his lower leg, there are rumors that something might have to be amputated. Unfortunately the boys were under the influence, and hit a telephone pole. :( I pray for them and their families.

I also pray for the boldness to really ask the question to most of my family, if they have ever received Jesus as their savior? They are as lost as could be. I got to share with my birth mother (yes, I was adopted) last night (we talk and are extremely close) that while she still has trouble with "giving me up," I know that the Lord has given me confirmation that there is much purpose in it, because I know that we "choose" Jesus for ourselves, but there is also an inherited desire, and I LOVE Jesus, but quite of bit of my adopted family, particularly my fathers side has NO spiritual heritage. I totally believe I was placed in this family to represent Jesus. They have watched me with the horrendous ditch I've been in and watched HIM get me out! It's all HIM, and I am not afraid to share that with them. But, it hasn't been so easy to approach them about their own salvation. I think this is my next move. Only with His leading. Because He knows they look at me like a hypocrite. Oops sounds like more bondage of shame I'm about to have turned into good soil!

Be Blessed.
