It's been exactly one year since I moved into my very own little house. I blogged about it then, how that I was sitting here exhausted from a day of moving, and realized that it was Halloween, and therefore my spiritual birthday. I totally gave my heart over to Jesus on October 31, 1994, sixteen years ago today, and I have never looked back. Considering that this is the date on which demonic forces are tolerated and even entertained by the general population, this is very ironic. I even raised my kids to go trick-or-treating back in the day, before I discovered the truth, but in my defense they never dressed up like anything very dark or demonic.
He continues to bless me and provide for me, over and above what I could ask or imagine. He has set me free from so much bondage! He has brought me out of depression, a spirit of fear, suicidal thoughts, and complete lack of self-worth. He continues to be at work in me, chipping away at the layers of damage from years of my being caught in satan's web of deceit. I am constantly realizing that I am walking out of something else that had me bound. I have even noticed lately that I am not as uncomfortable around people I do not know well, which means He is delivering me from a life-long affliction of shyness. This might not seem like a big deal, but trust me, coming from a person who used to get physically ill when forced to talk to strangers--it is! It is a process, and Jesus is walking with me every step. Praise God! Thank you Jesus, for saving me and delivering me from the wages of sin.
