Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy. Psalm 107:2
Nothing brings me greater joy than to know that I am free from the enemy! I mean literally free! Weee!! Alive and well 🙂 Free you say how were you enslaved? One might ask in which I’ll reply. Starting in 1992 I had spent the first 19 years of my life suffering from every kind of mental rejection and fear you could think of. There was no clarity or peace for my cluttered, watered down mind. Who would even listen to my thoughts? Who could even begin to understand the hidden things of my heart? Who would I even want walking across the dark rooms of my heart to open the shades for the light to come in?
Then 2013 hit and it became the most wonderful year of my entire life. Truly my life had just begun. I was seeking something new and with a drink in my hand and possibly a blunt? I thought of how nice it would be to have a man in my life who honored God. This idea quite literally came to me by divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit alone because by this time I was so far away from God ; yet here I was suddenly wanting a man in my life who would reverence Him. I truly believe God had sent me a way out that night that he tested my heart that night, perhaps to see if I was finally ready to receive Him. And boy am I glad I did!
Since that time God has blessed me with salvation , healing , peace , hope ,joy… really I could go forever with all the amazing things!! But most importantly he’s blessed me with redemption. Not only in this life but for the one to come! I’m so thankful to enjoy my 4 amazing children and my amazing husband who has willing fought tooth and nail to prove his love to me in moments when my unstable heart struggled to love him. He has truly been a gift from God, never leaving my side. He deserves an award. Shh.. don’t tell him I told you. He hates the spotlight. Which brings me back to hero of this show. Jesus.
My sweet Jesus. Who could know a greater love..
Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? I roused you under the apple tree; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth. Song of Solomon 8:5
All this while I had been looking for love and there he was waiting on me to look into his face. Truly I need to love him more. Like he loves me. With a fiery passion. Leaning on his arms like my life depends on it ..because it does!
Follow me on my journey as I share with you the goodness of God in my life through the salvation and fiery passion of His Son Jesus Christ. To give God the glory for being so mighty in saving a soul like me!
God bless you, with love mamaunashamed 💕
