Jesus, You're all this heart is living for
Abandoned Devotion was amazing. It really just facilitated me putting to practice and having time and space to get into everything I've been reading/working through in Unbound. And guess what? I will never self harm again. Not, "Oh, I haven't in a long time and I don't want to and don't plan on it, but I can't make any promises," INSTEAD, "This will never happen again. It has no hold on me and no part of my life; I am free." That feels AMAZING.
Being able to pray and talk with Maggie was refreshing too. And, so, for the first time in my life, I'm being strongly called to fellowship. I feel pulled to surround myself with like-hearted people who can pray with me and over me and support me in my Christian walk. My parents have always harped on me for not having many Christian friends, but I think the timing just wasn't right...I don't know.
I miss Rachel. <6
"By deliverance I mean the breaking of the power behind habitual patterns of thinking and acting that limit our freedom to accept God's love and turn away from that which blocks His love. Through deliverance we uncover the lies within and expose them for what they are so we may take full responsibility for our lives" (Lozano 64).
"If we can see the truth about ourselves and not be terrorized by it, God's reign appears in the simplicity with which we approach our sins, refusing either to ignore them or make excuses for them." -Peter John Cameron
I walked a mile with Pleasure,
She chattered all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne'er a word said she;
But oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me.
-J.R. Miller
Maggie: How do you feel about it?
Me: Sick at heart.
Maggie: Let Jesus give you medicine!
...my heart feels all better now =)
