Thoughts From My Past

Let me begin by telling you why I chose the background for this blog, when I originally took this Course, Making Peace With Your Past, by Author Tim Sledge, I was given the book and a journal. I was encouraged to write in that journal. Writing in my Journal has become a lifestyle in my Spiritual walk. I encourage to get pen a paper an answer some of these question and see what you come up with and continue to journal about he things that happen in you life.



What are some of your oldest memories of your childhood?

I know for me one them is of P.E. always being picked last for the team. Has that ever happened to you as a child? Do you remember the pain of the rejection knowing that not only do you know but everyone else knows that "NO ONE WANTS YOU". I think those days on the playing field helped shape some of my future identity.

I was watching Miley Cyrus with the my kids and husband the other day and I watched that the lengths Miley would go to to be chosen for the team. She went so far as to handcuff herself to her best friend so that they would not have a choice but to have her on their team when they chose her best friend. That is feeling pretty desperate to be accepted and needing to be wanted.

What crazy things have YOU done to fit in or to feel wanted?

Imagine carrying around thoughts of not being good enough and not being wanted as an adolescent. Now add a little bit of being over weight, and now add a little bit of feeling not pretty and thinking you look more like a boy than you do a girl.

The stage is being set for my personality to be withdrawn, introverted and unfriendly, and to make food my best friend. I became all those things.

What I have learned, I learned that God want me on his TEAM and he does not make a looser, he waists nothing. That I am beautifully and wonderfully made that he accepts me for just as I am. That there is nothing about me that surprises him.

If you have found yourself relating to anything I have said, be encouraged. There is a Savior, some call him Jehovah, some call him Lord, some call himJesus, some call Heavenly Father.

I first called him Friend! He said come play on my team and I will help you WIN!

Truth for the Journey

Its' been some months since I have posted on this Blog. However, I was called to become a part of Move of God, it has been called an experiment. What was the experiment to move forward with God in a new way, to allow to become truly the center of my being. As I began to respond with comments with the rest of Ladies participating I began to notice that many of the ladies are where I used to be. As the Lord gives me the words I will begin to fill up this Blog with notes regarding making Peace with Your Past, I believe as a New Convert this especially will become vital to you regarding your Christian walk.. We all have a Past, a Past the Devil would just love to continue to throw in your face. Do not let things from you Past, be buried confess them and forgive those who have wounded you along the way!
