As I think about all the things the Lord has done in my life over the span of 39 years, it simply amazes me. I grew up going to church with my neighbor's family, became saved when I was four, and walked closely with the Lord until I was about 16. This is when my life changed drastically. I continued going to church and had my quiet time with Him, but it wasn't the same. I lived on the fence for about twelve years. At twenty eight, I went through a horrible divorce but through all of that God was so faithful to me. He loved me and comforted me and held me in the midst of my storm. I had gone to a few retreats and went through a program, Discovery! Training, and found so much healing in that time. I ended up going to a retreat hosted by Rebecca Anderson and Cindy Morgan through Surrendered Souls in 2006 at Davis, OK that really began to change my life to a whole new level, I have attended about six since then. That first retreat I began to see the areas of my life that I really did not trust God and what I needed to surrender to Him in order for me to learn to trust Him on a deeper level. Fear was my greatest stronghold at that time and it was paralyzing me. Once I began to release the fear and trust the Lord more day by day, my life with Him began to change in a great capacity. The second retreat that I attended was 2008 in Mexia, Tx. This is the retreat when the Lord showed me who He really is and wants to be in my life. At this retreat I committed myself to be His and His alone. Since that time I have attended at least four other times and each time I have been the Lord reveals more and more to me of who I am in Him and where He is leading me.
Several years ago I remember thinking how can I be free from all these things that are keeping me in bondage. I felt as though I was bound by shackles and chains and that I would never be free from all the garbage that seemed to be sucking the life out of me. I had spoken to Rebecca on several occassions about all of the stuff that kept me tied up. I continued to talk about it for a span of about five years. Back in January of 2011 she asked if I would meet with her and Cindy to begin to deal with these issues. I agreed to do so and through the Surrendered Souls Mentorship Program the Lord has taken me yet to a deeper relationship with Him. I had so much darkness in my past that kept me tangled up in the enemy's snares that I was never able to walk in freedom from all the evil that was from my childhood and teen year as well as from things I have dealt with as an adult.
I have been diligent with the program and have taken each step seriously and continue to walk in a freedom that I find a priviledge and am so blessed to walk in. As I lay it all at His feet and rest in His arms all of the shackles and chains that once had me bound have been broken. The Lord has once again been faithful to me because once again I have trusted Him and surrendered more of my life to Him and He has set this captive FREE.
