So Much More!!!

We just finished a 10 week study of the book of Esther.
I began the journey with hopes that I would find a way to let God break some personal bondages in my heart. But even that seemed too good to be true, since I have unsuccessfully fought these inner battles for years. Yet God showed Himself to be so much greater than I dared imagine. Not only did he break those bonds and set me free.....He also gave me an insatiable hunger for His Word. That's something I hadn't specifically anticipated. But, boy, am I glad He did it in me! I sincerely feel forever changed. I wish I could be so open and honest about every step of the journey....so that perhaps someone in those same shoes could be encouraged. But I believe some things are meant to be kept between myself and my God. And perhaps others who are struggling can be encouraged merely by the result....a confident woman, free to love herself, others, and her Creator. Free to live in relationship & daily communion w/ Him. If you've never experienced that before, goodness sakes! You're missing out! Please don't wait. Run to Him. He's waiting. He always has been. And if He can wait as long as He did for stubborn me to come around....He can wait for anyone. That's the thing tho. He doesn't just wait. He also prods and tugs and beckons us to join Him in relationship. Amazing. The power of the Cross means so much more to me this Easter. :)
