"In Prayer I Ask For Strength"

Tomorrow is a big day for me..
 3 years of work, 3 years of trying to prove something to people in places that hold a part of  your life in their hands in a way.
3 years of perseverance, 3 years of never giving up!
Ah yes, but an incredible 3 years of finding strength I never knew I had..
3 years of incredible struggle with incredible lessons learned..
3 years of prayer and faith and trust in a God that I had walked away from, only to find out that he never walked away from me..he was right there all along waiting for me to just ask!
I look back now over the last 3 years and I am amazed at all the gifts received...
Amazed at what I have come to know about who I REALLY am inside this sometimes uncooperative mind of mine...
And I love her...I love me...after all these years, I can finally say that with no hesitation...
Its so freeing to not be at war with who you are in this world...
Ya know what I mean?
Thank you Father for loving me, for seeing beyond the muck, for lifting me up when I couldn't lift myself, for guiding me with the soft touch of your hand, for bringing me
to this place I now know as your loving GRACE!
I am thankful, grateful, hopeful and astonished!


In God's Heart I am loved, always was..
But now in my own heart I am loved by Me and that is huge..

Blessings
Val

  2. Hello, Val! Thank you for visiting my blog and for your sweet words! I am so glad to meet you! You found me through Brave Girls? Have you attended BG Camp or taken any classes? I think Melody and Kathy and their team are awesome! And I was more than a tiny bit thrilled to have my art featured on "a little bird" :)

    What an awesome God who loves us! I hope the "big day" you referred to was peaceful and blessed. Three years can feel like a long time, can't it? But God never wastes a moment, always teaching patiently, loving us through it. It sounds like you have drawn closer to Him through the process. Glad you didn't give up!
