best of you

This week has been an incredible week. God is showing me so much about setting me free from my past. The more I pray, the more I read, the more I work through things in my marriage, my friendships and my feelings about myself, I continually come back to not feeling loved or worthy of love. So many bad habits and bad choices come from this deep pit I have lived in since I was four years old.

Over the last few days I have reconnected with many old friends through facebook. Junior High and High School were some of the worst years of my life because of what was going on at home. I did not believe I would ever grow up to be what I am today. Reconnecting with some of these people and realizing that I am not the same insecure girl they once knew, even though i still struggle, has caused me to notice how far I have come. God has done an incredible work in my life since those school days. Thank GOD! He continues to work in me and through me. He is sculpting me into being more and more like Him daily.

Giving myself a break is the first step to my freedom. I've come along way baby! I've broken so many chains and I continue to run towards Him in this journey of breaking free.

This song has been on my mind today as I have thought about the things I have overcome. And it's on my iPod for running! :) Love this band so much!!!!!
