New Perspective

I've had a bit of a shift in perspective that's brought some healing and clarity to my heart. Thanks God!

So, I was journaling the other day, begging God to move in my life when I realized that I've been living (and thinking, and feeling) like a servant. Kept in the dark. Unloved. Expendable. Locked in. Sometimes beaten into submission. Hurt. Etc., etc.

I somehow managed to completely forget that I'm a Daughter of the King ... His princess. I'm not sure when the disconnect happened, but it did.

Part of me believes that it had to come to the place it did because there were some fringe beliefs that He wanted to remove/heal once and for all. I can't take them into the coming season. For that reason, I'm okay with how bad things got. I'm back now and I've heard Him say, "Welcome home."

I went to a seminar at church today on Living a Life of Freedom and the pastor brought this up ... sums up the craziness I just walked through pretty well:

"It is often that lack of trust, incomplete revelation of God's love and His ensuing care over every aspect of our lives, that allows wrong thinking, wrong emotions, wrong actions and even wrong spirits to invade our lives."

So, now I'm heading to IHOP for a week because I want God to solidify what He's started and give me a DEEP revelation of His love for me. I don't want to be able to come to this place of doubting Him again.

And I'm thinking about buying a tiara so I don't forget who I am again. :o)

I'll write when I get back.
