“The LORD our God said to us at Horeb, “You have stayed long enough at this mountain.” Deuteronomy 1:6 NIV
God has been pressing on my heart to move forward and yes I am stubborn about it. The truth about moving forward is that it can be painful. I dealt with rejection and depression for many years. So I played the role of a victim, and looked at everyone as the enemy. I was very mean and cried alone in my room a lot. I kept a lot of anger and bitterness bottled up because of lies I believed about myself and bad choices I made. Now I have been saved for almost five years and yet I allow the past to control me. Now I come to a point that I have to let it ALL go and let God heal me. It is painful to revisit areas of insecurity, depression, lust, etc. because sometimes I wish my issues will just disappear on their own. Believe it or not, you can waste precious time reliving the past and miss out on God’s plans for your life. It can be a new job, your “future” mate, a book deal, businesses, etc., but you cannot access that until you move forward. Regardless whether I feel like it or not, I am going forward……yes I have to MAKE MYSELF MOVE!!! I have a destiny to fulfill and that means denying ShuCora and ignore what she wants…….which is to stay bound. I pray you that you make the decision to step forward and live! This week, I will be posting my first short story series, Parris’s Hope. We all want to run away from our past but God wants to use our past to bring hope to others. Y’all have a great day! Love ya!
