A little over a year ago....

Its been a little over a year since my last post. And my life has changed drastically. I am no longer the person I used to be. It has been a whirlwind of things the last several months....especially living in St. Louis for the last six months with Mercy Ministries. It was there that I found God and found the life I could be living rather than the life I was struggling to live.

I have been home a whole 4 days and I am already amazed at the revelations God has given me. I have been reading a book called Kisses from Katie....and after reading the introduction and the first chapter I sat there nearly crying. I know that God is calling me to the missions field. He has entrusted me with the gift of photography and He is going to use me to change lives. Such a powerful thought.

Wanted the share this poem I wrote while at Mercy. It was on the day that I made the decision to choose life and break all bondage with death. I struggled with this but once i finally came to terms with it this is what I wrote.

Today is a new day
and a decision was made
now past hurts and transgressions
will slowly begin to fade

I stopped running from God
and just surrendered to Him
the burdens I could no longer carry
and the addiction to sin

Walking in Obedience
I can finally see
the girl I thought I once was
that girl is no longer me.

So I have yet to figure out how to put into words all that has occurred in the last year but I think slowly that all of it will be put into words.
In the works is some pretty amazing stuff that only God can orchestrate....I am excited to see how it all pans out.
