There is a girl in all of us that is afraid of being unaccepted by others…well–maybe not you…but—that’s what I deal with at times.
I talked with an absolutely PRESSSHUUUSS friend at church Sunday night….she didn’t realize that Jeff had the past life issues that he shared in his blog last week. But he did. HE was. He’s not anymore.
As a Christian…we sometimes think that our lives are full of troubles and issues that other Christians haven’t faced…because we see only the outer layer. I have hid my own problems from others and I am afraid that some may think my life is perfect….just because my dear sweet husband can make an incredible CAKE!!!
But it’s not. I deal with stuff. Just like you do. We may not all have the same issues…but we all have issues honey.
These are just a few that women of all ages experience. Some of them I have experienced. Some of them you have experienced.
All of them bind.
All of them pinch worse than a new pair of shoes two sizes too small.
The things the devil tries to bind us with leave scars. Some emotional….some physical.
BUT sister…I want to tell you that in the power of Jesus…we can be free! Free from the traps set by satan.
Free from the bondage of sin!
Free from the hinderances of the world!
Free to live—YOU can be FREE to be YOU…I can be free to be ME! IN HIM! That’s what He wants to do—Jesus came to SET US FREE!

That’s what this retreat is all about! Be FREE! In the name of Jesus! To be the YOU He created YOU to be! His child! His daughter! Full of His Holy Spirit! Walking in GRACE! No longer under bondage! BUT FREE!
I must put this little note…the enemy did not want this one published. My computer shut this down 4 times! BUT praise the LORD—it’s going up!

Praise the Lord for perseverance and victory over the enemy! This is just what I needed to read tonight! The girl inside me may be shy and timid, and dealing with “stuff”, but she <>knows<> her Redeemer lives and gives freedom from all the things that weigh her down….>>One of my favorite old songs is “He Set Me Free”…>“<>Once like a bird in prison I dwelt,>No freedom from my sorrow I felt.>But Jesus came and listened to me,>And glory to God He set me free!>>Now I am climbing higher each day,>Darkness of night has drifted away.>My feet are planted on higher ground,>And glory to God I’m homeward bound!”<>>>I am with you all the way, sister, FREE TO BE ME!

We are already FREE to BE and that’s the beauty of being in Christ it’s just at times the emotions and situations of life can get in the way and it is then that you have to remind yourself that THE CHAINS HAVE ALREADY BEEN BROKEN!>>Glory to God. I don’t have to wait to be all that He’s made me to be. I can walk in it now! That’s the attitude to have and to support each other through those times when LIFE can get in the way or our flesh or the devil! We have to remind each other that we are FREE TO BE! I love it!

This is killing me, this retreat. I want to go so bad. I’m pouting and ranting. I want to be FREE to rest in His answer. Yes or no. I’m not there yet.>>And hey, my word this year is freedom. I prayerfully pick one every year. Hmm. Funny sense of humor God has. >>No, really, I’m thrilled to see you marching forward with this dream. I pray its a huge blessing for all who can come. There is no doubt God is in this. He will do great things during this special time. I believe it…>>Okay enough of me. >>Love, Tiffany who is secretly hoping God has a plan B because Plan A doesn’t look promising.
