Today marks four years - March 27, 2013. Four years ago today is when I allowed Papa God to begin freeing me from 30 years of bondage. Severe pain forced me to visit Banner Thunderbird ER, and it wasn't until one week later that I left the hospital. I left with an additional 17 lbs (that I did NOT need) of hospital fluid, a few prescriptions, diagnoses of pancreatitis and diabetes, some residual pain and a lot of weakness. But I also left without a couple of things - a gall bladder and fear!
This date is forever etched in my memory. A date when I began to walk into my destiny. A date I took the risk to trust God more than myself and my own manipulations. A date when I gave in. Oh, of course the pain forced that surrender. But it felt so good to give in, to no longer manipulate, and to no longer fear. Even though I carried some extra pounds, I felt so much lighter.
I've had to make choices over the past four years - choices that could have opened the door back up to fear. I'm not willing to open that door. Thank you Jesus for freedom!
Yes, Surrender is the key!
