Coming onto this race I was so sure that I knew who I was, so confident that I had left the past behind. Living in constant community with 5 other people has shown me that this is not the case. Since I’ve been here I’ve struggled with finding the real me. For so many years I have felt unable to survive, and to survive I’ve alienated my self, put up walls and have picked up personality traits that are not my own.
It’s scary realizing that you are not who God intended you to be. It’s even scarier trying to come out of that comfort into something totally new. I am determined to find the real me. The person that God made me to be. I will no longer be limited by myself.
This past week I’ve been learning more about who Christ says I am and letting go of who this world says I am. This year I’m learning to live in life and saying goodbye to the death that has been spoken over me. I’m choosing to speak life into my own life. I’m praying that one day that I can learn to speak life into others. Back in Ireland Nick said to me that this would be a year of healing, a year of God mending the broken pieces. At the time I didn’t understand the true meaning of that. Now I understand that it’s about finding my identity.
I am an empowered woman of God.
I am Free. Galatians 5:1
I am accepted.
I am his beloved.
I am strong, powerful, mighty.
I am holy, chosen, called.
I am anointed by God.
Nick and I want to continue this journey, and hope that you’ll continue to follow us here on our website. There is a chance that we could be sent home if funds do not continue to come in. We are still in need of $12k. We are behind on our monthly goals. If we could get 56 people to donate $20 monthly for 9 months we would reach this goal.
