RECLAIMING MY LIFE.
/
Starting in the next day or two, the name of my blog is changing.
It comes along with some new dreams and visions the Lord has put in my heart.
I'm excited.
Excited for what He has in store for my heart, my life, my dreams.
But mostly, is comes along with a new declaration over my life.
HOPE.
Please consider continuing to join me in my story, at a new spot and a new name.
IT'S UP AND RUNNING!

The name of my new space is called Our Hope Reclaimed.
Because that's exactly what He is leading me to do...
every day, for my whole life.
to RECLAIM what is MINE.
Because HE made it mine.
Peace is mine, Hope is mine, Joy is mine, Rest is mine.
ALL BECAUSE OF JESUS and what He did for me and what He offers to me.
I was planning to just share quickly on here today about the new name change and site coming,
but this morning, as I met with Him, I felt led to just write out my heart...

Heart struggles and battles against despair and anger have not been far from me this past year.
2013 has had its' way-too-big share of hard hits.
Lots that could and try to bring me down and make me stew in the fight of it.
But I am fighting back, and sometimes, like today, that feels like just fighting for air to breathe.
Fighting to regain the peace I know is available for me and is helpful and valuable in my daily life.
Fighting to walk every moment in a spirit of kindness and repentance and love towards others and myself.
Fighting against the urge to isolate and pull back from life-giving things when days are hard.
Fighting for a clear mind to think on life-giving things instead of dwelling on the traumas.
seems like fighting these battles would be tiring, but I'm here to tell you...
NOT fighting for life is EXHAUSTING.
And I have been pretty tired this year.
but not any longer.
I am reclaiming WHO I AM in Jesus today!
I AM TAKING BACK MY MIND AND MY LIFE TODAY.
Taking back the HOPE He has given and made as a sacrifice to fill my life.
The Enemy is a very real and manipulative voice to us all, looking for ways he can lie to us, every day.
you know what makes Satan the maddest?
When we IGNORE Him.
So I am starting over today, and day by day, in what I listen to, whose voice I choose to hear.
This is a daily battle for us all as children of God...even if you don't fully realize it.
but it IS possible to live in full peace, in full hope, in full joy.
because those things ARE Jesus.
HE IS the I AM.
He is the Prince of Peace.
and I need peace today, y'all.

Just needed to declare publicly that I am HIS and want to no longer be a slave to the enemy who tempts me with despair and unrest.
I am reclaiming it all back!
GOD WILL RESTORE WHAT THE ENEMY HAS STOLEN.
HE HAS RECLAIMED YOUR LIFE AS NEW AND PRECIOUS.
HE HAS GIVEN YOU THE ABILITY TO LIVE IN PEACE AND FULL OF HOPE.
HE LOVES YOU.
LOVES YOU, LOVES YOU, LOVES YOU.
reclaim that over your life today, friends.
