Freedom! Victory! Words I heard for years during my struggle and now finally live. What a wonderful feeling to shed the burdens that the past traumas of life had left. Yet to walk with new steps does not come naturally nor easily and as I reflect on the parts of my journey that brought me to here, and find my way into a new, unshackled life, I thought it would be fun to record the discoveries along the way and share in the transformation from old to new.

In Remembrance (from Isaiah)
He sent me to preach good news to the poor, heal the heartbroken ... God sent me to announce the year of his grace— a celebration of God's destruction of our enemies—and to comfort all who mourn, To care for the needs of all who mourn in Zion, give them bouquets of roses instead of ashes, Messages of joy instead of news of doom, a praising heart instead of a languid spirit. Rename them "Oaks of Righteousness" planted by God to display his glory. They'll rebuild the old ruins, raise a new city out of the wreckage. They'll start over on the ruined cities, take the rubble left behind and make it new. ~Isaiah 61:1-7
