"...suddenly I turned around and she was standing there with silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns - "Come in", she said "And I'll give you shelter from the storm"

No Longer

Over the past 25 years of my life God has taken me on an adventure like no other - one of healing, discovery, and fullness of joy. About 7 years ago when I gave up hope of ever reaching the place I so yearned to be, He responded to my despair by giving me the promise of Hosea 2:14 - 20. The past seven years has been full 
of His fulfillment of that promise ... layer after layer of the walls that the enemy worked so hard to build have been stripped away - He has filled the void that once ruled my life and bridged the gap with His peace, presence, and strength. His faithfulness in my life goes beyond my wildest hopes and greatest faith. He is Healing and Hope. I love Him.


Therefore, behold, I will allure her, I will bring her into the wilderness, 
      And speak comfort to her. I will give her her vineyards from there, 
      And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope;  She shall sing there, 
      As in the days of her youth, As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt. 

For I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals,       And they shall be remembered by their name no more.


I will betroth you to Me forever; 
      Yes, I will betroth you to Me 
      In righteousness and justice, 
      In lovingkindness and mercy;


 

  
 Iwill betroth you to Me in faithfulness, 
      And you shall know the LORD






















No~Longer....
