""its been a long time comin' been a twelve round fight, been a thousand nights of darkness but i finally see the Light. seems my never-ending search is coming to an end. yeah it's been a long time comin' but i comin' home""
maybe it was real when i said the prayer at seven. maybe it was real when i was baptized at twelve. maybe it was real when i said the prayer again at fourteen. but looking back, at seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, it wasn't real. not even close.
twelve days after my twenty-first birthday, february twenty-fourth, in the year of our Lord, two-thousand and eleven.
i knew the day was coming. i could feel it. God had been fighting with me for months. and he has put people in my life, each with a chisel to begin freeing my stone-cold heart. i will be forever grateful for [maisie & will & lori & rachel & chip & carlie & jack!]
everything fell into place on february twenty-fourth. the final blow that freed me, jolted my sleeping soul, opened my eyes. i dont live in darkness anymore.
now listen to this song and be HAPPY
You've been in my thoughts about this for a while girlie. I know how much I've been struggling the last two years. The Lord brought me to Liberty thought and it's been the beginning of a process. It'll probably be a long one, but I'm slowly finding encouragement and support and I feel like it's starting to reflect a little more in my life. I'm happy for you girlie :)
