Who loves us through our sin... but desires to make us new and more aligned with His word. Its unexplainable the joy it brings. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment. The comments from all of the woman who have read so far have been so humbling and I am so blessed to be surrounded by such open people. <3 with love, AlyAly Nickersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200136770809185082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310187391739887331.post-67248227833807766492013-03-29T13:22:38.889-07:002013-03-29T13:22:38.889-07:00Kathleen - Thank you so much for taking the time t...Kathleen - Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! Breaking Free is one that I want to do! I am in the midst of one of her other studies and have done the Esther Study... which is actually where my shop name is derived from! It is such an encouragement to me to hear all the woman who resonate with this post. Thank you for taking the time to comment. It means so much. - AlyAly Nickersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200136770809185082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310187391739887331.post-64852747076136860672013-03-29T13:13:51.603-07:002013-03-29T13:13:51.603-07:00Aly, what a beautiful and transparent story.

Isn't He amazing? I know He is able to do more than we ask or imagine. I was so touched by your story that sometimes it was hard to read through my tears. I have been there before, and thank you for sharing Cheryie's words of wisdom and perspective. I will definitely keep them in mind. And, for the record, I believe you are beautiful, inside and out! Thanks for blessing my day.

I am currently going through the "Breaking Free" Bible study by Beth Moore, and we just covered the subject of believing that God can change us, and that the change can be permanent. I have struggled with this for so long, convinced I was damaged in a way that is unfixable. Thank you, thank you for sharing this -- you have no idea how encouraging and uplifting it is, especially to hear that God met you where you were when you cried out to Him. Just knowing that someone else has struggled as I do... I trust without a doubt that He will show up for me, too. I'm so glad He led me to read this and so pleased that He is working mightily in your life. I will be praying for you. ~KathleenSpaceKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01995862917417055937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310187391739887331.post-85504316168962547782013-03-25T15:14:00.454-07:002013-03-25T15:14:00.454-07:00Jennifer - Isn't it so nice to know you aren&#...Jennifer - Isn't it so nice to know you aren't the only one. Makes you feel like there is HOPE! And there is. I am so thankful to hear that what God used to help me, has also been used to open your eyes to something that you may not have been able to see otherwise. I am lifting you up in prayer now that you will continue to seek God and that you will completely let go of yourself and allow God to truly show you who He has for you to be. Hope to see you back on the blog. Thanks for stopping by.

I've been in a similar place many times before, and God has the most incredible way of orchestrating every detail to show me more about Himself and lift me out of my despair. <br />I'm so happy for you for being brought through this experience - the strength and joy of the Lord are just radiating from your words, and they blessed me so much.<br /><br />Blessings!Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05173990163000504566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310187391739887331.post-14153661107279100502013-03-24T21:12:49.210-07:002013-03-24T21:12:49.210-07:00It is wonderful and great to find common ground no...It is wonderful and great to find common ground no matter what :)<br />I can't wait for my forks to arrive. I know I will love them and my daughters will be thrilled.<br />I bake them a personal sized cake just for them (and cupcakes for everyone else) on their birthdays and thought the forks would be a perfect gift to go with the cake.<br />Then every year, they can eat their personal cake with their special fork.<br />I know when the day comes that I'm no longer here, it will be even more special for them.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007521431513309006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310187391739887331.post-21394824014445899162013-03-24T20:21:43.180-07:002013-03-24T20:21:43.180-07:00Denise - Isn't it wonder how we can be impacte...Denise - Isn't it wonder how we can be impacted even when it doesn't happen to us.

Everything you described in the beginning of your story is how I am and I don't like myself either.<br />The difference....our ages. I'm 63. But with that said, I believe you're never to old to change. <br />In a round about way, the people you met in Burnet helped me also. I will think about the words that Cheryie told you and I will practice them.<br />I know you will be fine. I think opening up is always the first step.<br />Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful story and the very happy ending!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007521431513309006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310187391739887331.post-15159095447468429572013-03-24T16:36:23.775-07:002013-03-24T16:36:23.775-07:00You are very welcome!
