My younger sister's name is Amie and my older sister's name is Becky (I'm in the middle of them). So when I saw that you wrote "Amy, Jamie," I read that as "Amie." And then "Joel" in the middle and then "Becky." Freaky! If only Lydia's name was "Barry" (my older brother) then it would be my complete group of sibs...

I ended up writing and rewriting mine, cutting things out and rewording things just so it wouldn't be too long! Brevity is always a struggle for me. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story. As Amy said, I know some of your story but I learned some new things about you and your history here.<br /><br />"<I>Deadly poison into my brain</I>..." Wow! Such a great description!<br /><br />I can relate to the roller coaster ride, as I shared in my story as well. Man, that is the worst way to live life. It's just so sad that all of this happens in the <I>church</I>, where people are supposed to be free!<br /><br />I also truly relate to my past thoughts that I had to do 'big' things for God. I 'knew' He had big things that He wanted to do, but it was never going to happen until I got my life straight and began performing well enough for Him to be able to finally 'use' me in big ways. Every time I messed up... or even when I didn't 'mess up' but just didn't feel I was doing good enough... I would think to myself, "How many <I>years</I> has that added to the time it will take to get to a place where God can truly use me?"<br /><br />I'm so glad to be out of most of that junk, and growing in freedom! It truly is a journey, and I don't know anyone who's "arrived" at a place of complete freedom from performance-based acceptance... but the sharing of our stories really does go a long way, I think.Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529625177060889765.post-40982619224500184172009-05-12T18:01:00.000-04:002009-05-12T18:01:00.000-04:00Thank you, Bino, for sharing your experiences with...Thank you, Bino, for sharing your experiences with us!

Thank you for this wonderful description of ...Bino,<br />Thank you for this wonderful description of your past and how Papa Jesus Holy Spirit walked you into understanding His Love and Grace on this Journey. I knew some of your story, but not all that you shared here. I appreciate this blogpost, a lot!<br /><br />I love what you said here and I feel exactly the same way:<br /><br />"But, regardless of any of it, I wouldn't trade this journey for anything. He has given me the confidence, that no matter how I mess up, I can still snuggle back into His lap and call Him "Abba, Father!". And there is nothing, nothing which can separate me from His love. NOTHING!"<br /><br />Amen!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />~Amy :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
