Throughout life we have all faced challenges of acceptance, fears, and, insecurities. In order to override these, we have all attempted to self prescribe alternative methods to heal us from the pain that these bring to our life. Sometimes, we never come to the realization that the only one who could heal and restore our lives is our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ.
At the age of 19, my world was shattered by the horrible actions of another human being, and the security I once had in myself was completely crushed. I felt the need to hide and struggled to piece back together my life......by myself. Little did I realize, God was there the WHOLE time urging me to fall into his arms and to allow him to piece together my broken life.
Moving to Mission Viejo was truly a blessing in disguise. I began attending Saddleback Church and was introduced to the one woman who would become Gods instrument in healing my broken heart. She brought me to CRAVE and my transformation began. Slowly, Jesus Christ began working on all the shattered pieces and healing my hurts.
Four years later, I am still in the process of healing. I still fall back into patterns and of course new trials and tribulations add to the mess in my life. But in the midst of it all, Jesus has led me to some amazing experiences on this journey called life. I am so grateful to have a father who loves me unconditionally and continues to push me to be all that he has created me to be.
This summer, I dedicate to Him. I mean, of course my entire life I dedicate to him, but this summer my desire is for Him to work on me. On getting in shape and preparing me for all he has to offer. I want to be the kind of woman whom lives with no fear....but rather lives in His perfect love.
I want to be the kind of woman that when I wake up in the morning, Satan screams.....CRAP.....she's up. I want to be a mover and a shaker....I want to be a woman on fire for Jesus Christ. I desire to be his hands and feet in the world and for him to not only transform me.....but use me as his tool out in the world.
So, my prayer is that I am able to step into the destiny God has prepared for me. I pray that he allows me to see my flaws and the areas of my life that need fixing. I pray he sheds light on the things which I need to change and I pray that he molds me. Father, mold me, prepare me......
Through this blog I will share my journey as I am transformed into the woman I am destined to be.
Thank you Jesus!
