I have always struggled with describing who I am. For 42 years I really did not know. Today I am excited and full of joy to tell you that I am a daughter of the Almighty God that gave me the ultimate gift ever imagined. HIS son, who gave his life for my sins so I could spend eternity in the presence of my Father. For years my heart was full of regret, shame, guilt, great despair and agonizing pain. The feeling of worthlessness consumed me preventing me from opening my heart to HIM fully. Once I accepted and owned my feelings and forgave the ones who placed those feelings on my heart, I was able to finally surrender to my Father and let HIM carry by burdens for me so I could fully open my heart to HIM. My heart was overflowing with HIS love, joy, and peace. Being filled with the Holy Spirit I felt like a brand new person. I feel purpose for the first time.
