A Hug For My Friends!
Posted on May. 8, 2006

I just want to thank you for all of your kind words, encouragement and most especially your prayers. You, my sisters, mean so much to me. It's so funny how even when I'm not blogging I'm wondering about you all & can't wait to get back & see what you've been up to.

 

I'm slooowwwllllyyyy working my way through Oops! My Cup is Empty...and My Coffee Pot is Broke!  and  Lucia Claborn's  first book on Faith. They are really good, so full of the Truth of the Word which is what I'm realizing is the only thing that is going to lift me out of this pit. Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" - I've always known it in my head but I'm realizing it for the first time I think as a way I have got to live.

 

Again, thank you ever so ever so much for caring so much about me. Your outpouring of love for me, a perfect stranger, makes it easier for me to believe and accept the love of God. I think that not being able to believe, I mean really believe that God loves me is one of my hugest obstacles to finding the freedom that I know God so desires for me. I bought Beth Moore's "Breaking Free" a while back but didn't get very far. I'm going to try again I think. It's just so hard, why is it so hard?

 

May God Bless You This Very Day!!!!

 

Much Love, My Sisters,

Kerri

Jesus' love...

I feel the same way about it being hard. Sometimes it is horribly hard just to make it through the day. Somehow, through it all Jesus is right there and never stops loving us...even when we don't feel it or even believe it. I struggled with God loving me for years until I finally decided to choose to believe the truth. God so loved the world...that includes me!! We aren't the special exception to that. This week my pastor was talking about how we are God's masterpiece. He told a story about a little girl with a cleft pallette. She was made fun of and wounded by rejection. She couldn't believe that anyone, even God could love her. Then she had a 2nd grade teacher who played a whisper game with the class. When it was the girl's turn the teacher whispered to her "I wish you were my little girl." These words changed her life. This is exactly what God said when He looked down on us...I wish you were my little girl. We were chosen and are wanted and very much loved. May He help us to grasp this more and more and to just rest in it.
Much love,
Michele

One reason...

Beth Moore's Breaking free is a very intense book. I went through it with my women's bible study two years ago. Talk about changing your life. That is the one where she has you look at how God really see you as a woman for Him.

I tell you. I use to wake up early in the morning, do my quiet time with the Lord, and then do my Breaking Free bible study. I believe that it was 9 or 12 weeks, but I learned a lot about myself. I learned how I had chains around my heart that needed to be broken. I tell you that you are set free after you have gone through this study.

Try Beth Moore's Believing God. My woman's bible study did it this past year. The big question that is underlined in this book is do you really, really believe God. That is what I saw from that one. OO! Talk about looking intensely into yourself.
Take care.
