well, seeing as how that all I've posted so far are some awesome recipes... I thought it was time that my blog and i shared a heart-to-heart...
i know that a number of you have been praying for me through this past spring and summer, and i really think that i am doing better... sometimes other times, i feel like i'm still in the midst of the emotions and hurt and pain... and then i just cry...
the biggest factor in healing is my Saviour... without him, i know i wouldn't have made it this far... HE's so AMAZING!!
i know as my family and friends that you all care about me, and don't get me wrong, i appreciate it SO much... but if you guys care so much... how much MORE does HE care? i mean think about it, HE makes sure the sparrows have enough to eat all through our manitoba winters... if HE can care about a bird... how much more does HE care for me... one HE made in HIS image...
Sometimes it's so hard for me to grasp this foreign concept that i'm made in HIS image... because for so long i pictured GOD as a taskmaster... waiting for me to screw up so HE could hit me with a lightning bolt... but... as i've been learning through my late teens, and now into adulthood... HE actually CARES!!
one testiment to this caring is this summer... i was staying up in the girls dorm, by myself (until you came Beth... and i loved having you there) being by myself often did not provide the escape from my emotions and hurts... so i cried myself to sleep most nights... but this one night as i was laying in my bed, crying, GOD spoke to me and said, "why don't you ask ME to comfort and hold you?"
i continued to lay there and cry... eventually i whispered my prayer, "Father, please hold me"
as i continued to cry i actually felt arms around me. i felt like HE had scooped me up like you would hold a baby to soothe them when they cry... that's how HE held me, and rocked me until i fell asleep...
GOD is so awesome... i love HIM so very much!
GOD bless each one of you! be encouraged... HE cares for you!!
Psalms 55:22 and 1 Peter 5:7 are God's written testiment to this!
love ya

just a girl with a story of healing...
Who I am and what I do...
I am a daughter, sister and friend. I love and greatly enjoy life, even when that involves great bouts of turbulence. God is so faithful to hold us steady through the storms as long was we hold firm to him. I am presently a grocery store checker and am also back in University to get my degree in Nursing....
My greatest passion is for people to realize the fact that they are so valuable to not only their purpose in life, but to their Heavenly Father. Our greatest value is not found in our successes or in our failures, but in our identity. For all who have received Christ this is our identity: We are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and we can do ALL things through Him who gives us strength (Phil. 4:13). We have the Mind of Christ and we can do anything!
Christ was NOT a failure... and we are called to be Christ-like... that doesn't mean that we will never fail... duh... we're human, but with great failure comes God's great grace.... remember that.... YOU are a CHILD OF THE KING OF THE MOST HIGH... how's that for an identity??
