Family

This summer has been one of great growth. I too, along with Ser, have been living in the basement of the Kundel's residence. Last night my brother asked, "So are the Kundels having an orphanage over at their house or something?" The answer is No...it's just me and Ser. I decided to take this step of faith in order to leave the house of rebellion (FEAR) and enter the house of the Lord. I needed to make a geographical change in order for emotional and spiritual change to happen. Needless to say, even though it was hard, I have seen the fruit of obeying my Papa. He has given me His power to stand against Fear and my voice within His strength. I am also learning that I am not responsible for other people's feelings and I am not at risk when others are feeling however they may be feeling: negative or positive. I am also learning I can be myself and be where I am at with Papa -- He wants my heart.

Last night I got the chance to spend time with my family. I felt so blessed. I got to have dinner with my mom and brother and go on our walk with fifi (our dog), my mom, brother, my mom's friend and her dog. It was such a blessing to spend time with my brother and talk about life and wounds of our past. Both of us can understand one another when it comes to our past more than maybe any other human being could because we both experienced the exact same thing. At the same time I have some friends that are experiencing loss and pain that breaks my heart. Although it is hard to know they are going through that, I feel very blessed to have moments with my family because life is so fragile. I have been reminded of this in the past few days.

I praise God for the time I get to spend with my family and what God is doing in each of our lives. It is so crazy how God can use anything and everything to get to us. He is so working in my families life and I am just ready to keep obeying Him. The Lord IS good.
