Because I know I'm not alone.

 
A little bit about my testimony with brokenness. 
The Lord had called me to step out into full time missions and ministry over 16 years ago. I said yes to the Lord.  Around the same time my ex-husband of 15 years walked away.  Of course we were all very broken. The Lord led me to Arizona and there I served some ministries for a couple of years. The Lord set it all up and opened doors for me and my kids.  We were right where He wanted us.  
Still, I had much healing that needed to take place.  I was wounded and still carrying around this childhood trauma that effected my emotions which also affected my decisions too.  The Lord can and does still use us in our brokenness.  
But He always wants to heal us.
I felt very lonely as a single mom and I started to be focused on myself, my feelings and my circumstances and got my eyes off Jesus and His plans.
I started to look at the waves!
I started to listen and believe the lies of the enemy.   I started to run ahead of the Lord.  I now know that I needed to trust Jesus alone and keep my focused on Him.  He takes care of the widows and single moms! His timing is truly perfect if we trust Him. 
We should not make big decisions out of wounded hearts.
Someone back in Canada was trying to connect with me on Facebook and he was a Christian, but also from a broken marriage.   I followed my brokenness instead of Jesus and came back to Canada.  Sadly, it just caused more brokenness and pain for everyone involved.  
The Lord replaced me in those places He called me to and rightly so. He has a plan, and it will go forth and we have free will to say yes or no.
It was only 10 years ago I was able to finally identify and admit to that major childhood trauma that I needed to deal with.  To say the least at this time in my life I was not doing well physically or spiritually.
The Lord pulled me out of the sinking sea of hurts again over a year ago.  He brought me back to Niagara Falls after 16 years. He brought me back to the same church, NWC and the same neighborhood where I lived with my ex-husband and children.  It took me 11 years to forgive myself for not waiting on the Lord's timing.
With the beautiful Holy Spirit and the wonderful people at Mom’s Group, Freedom Ministries and NWC, I know God loves me and forgives me.  And He can still use this broken vessel, if He chooses to.  He brought me back to Niagara Falls to heal me and teach me through it all.  I’m 50 now and this has truly been my year of jubilee! He has done so much healing and restoring in me! I can hardly express how grateful and thankful I am to Jesus.  I have never experienced this kind of freedom, in all my life! Ever!!!
He healed my soul, after years of struggle and He wants to heal you too!
My prayer is that everyone would have this Freedom too! 
Last year the Lord put it on my heart to step out and have a Women’s conference.  I said yes.  It’s been a lot of surrendering and letting go of my plans.  Every time I wanted to let it go, I felt the Lord nudge me and ask me the same question, which He has asked many times, would you do it for the one (1)? How can I say no?  This is His heart; He leaves the 99 for the 1.
So, I poured out my oil on His feet.
I’m trusting Him and trying to stay out of the way as much as possible.  I just want to facilitate His heart the best that I can. 
He’s coming soon!  And there are many daughters out there that don’t know how much He truly loves them and forgives them. 
​
Please come and bring your brokenness to the Lord and allow Him to bond you with His Love and make you a stronger vessel more beautiful than ever before!
