Living Free

I briefly mentioned the Living Free class I was taking at church in an earlier post. I was so surprised by how much this class changed me! So much of it was just about letting go of anger, fear, insecurities, etc. and trusting in God's forgiveness and love.

Until I did some of the worksheets in my book, I don't think I consciously realized how much fear and anger I was carrying around with me every day. Or how much I was trying to be in control and not having faith that God wanted the best for me and loved me the way he made me. I've always had trust issues! :) This class taught me how to pray, how to receive forgiveness, and how to forgive those that have hurt me.

Having been raised without a personal connection to Jesus, so much of what I've gotten from MOPS and New Bridge has been wonderful, inspiring, and, most of all, freeing!

I did a lot of crying going through this class - there were a couple of big things that I had to work through and I was so overwhelmed with realizing the incredible love He's had for me before I was even conceived!

So, my next step is going to be baptism. I was baptized as a baby, but this time it's my choice, my symbol of obedience, and my cleansing.

Okay...I'm getting all sniffly and emotional....more light-hearted topics later!
