Into the Light

It seems so simple, but doing this scares the snot out of me. These words seem so small, but the depth of what is behind them is beyond this simple black & white text. Years of pain, fear, shame, hurt, anger, self hatred, loneliness, failure, depression, & intense insecurity are behind these simple words. I pray that as you read my story, that the words will not fall flat & just be another "nice story", but that the depths of the Power of our Loving & Almighty God, who is able to do EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE ALL that you could ASK OR THINK, would penetrate your spirit & birth new hope in you. My family's & my story is one that is still being revealed, but we hold firm to the glorious truth in Philippians 1:6, "Being confident of this, that HE who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

Our testimony is the culmination of 28+ years personally & 58+ years for my family. Why I am writing my/our story you ask? Because if I had known that there was a woman who has been where I have been & a family who had gone through what my family has gone through, & those people received TOTAL & COMPLETE HEALING & RESTORATION, my life & mindset would have changed dramatically. In today's age of cynicism & doubt, I personally know that we are all hungry & starving for a tangible miracle from God. There have been countless times where I would read a story in the Bible with great miracles & I would say to God, "I know that you are the same God yesterday & today, but why don't we see these kind of miracles in the church or in our lives anymore?" Let me assure you, we serve a miracle God who is causing His plans & purposes in our lives to work out for His glory & our good. We may not be able to see that plan & perhaps it does not look the way we want it to look, but our God is weaving a beautiful tapestry out of every trial & triumph in our lives.

I am sharing our story for one simple truth, Revelation 12:11, "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;". The enemy's power over us is destroyed when we drag out that which he wants to stay hidden & in the dark, & we bring it into the light. This blog is that light.
