Utterly Changed for Him - 10 months later

Its almost 2 am. I am so pumped about EVERYTHING. Yes it sounds like I just had coffee and no I didn't. I just finished writing thank you letters to people I love, and supporting a child's christmas in Africa. If I was ever going to be an evangelistic Christian... it would be right now!
This must be what people feel like when they are shouting about the love of Jesus on a street corner.
Okay, so right now... I have a Jesus high, but its amazing how someone can change through trials and time. The last time I blogged I had just joined HPSM and finished my orientation week where David Wray at Healing Place Church, smoked us on giving it all and being ruined for God.
I was praying at the alter with such trepidation about the next few months of my life. I couldn't get excited about it and then I got prayed for by a prayer warrior...I'd rather refer to her as a prayer hero.
So as my prayer Hero was tearing down fear, I was bracing myself for this next ten months. Im now on the other side of it, oh and let me tell you........... it was hard. Probably, emotionally, the hardest ten months of my Jesus lovin life. Separation, insecurity, healing, depression, compression, failure, victories, sifting, helplessness, hopefulness and in the end - Peace.
Words can not fully contain the change and the peace in my heart. Risking vulnerability and allowing people to walk through the battles with you, confronts the very things your afraid of. And you Heal. Instead of my head swimming with I can't, my head is swimming with "How in the world can I be this peaceful, restful, speechless?
Three words baby, Love Of Christ.
