The Beginning

Well, everyone, I have decided to start a blog! I will warn you that this blog has the potential to be very random and silly at times and also very somber and revealing of deep parts of my heart. I hope that ya'll will enjoy reading about my life, thoughts, and heart as I grow and in and pursue the Lord passionately.

I believe the Lord has brought me to a place in my life I never thought possible. I used to be in such a dark and hopeless place. I had completely shut out everyone who has ever loved me and was angry at God. Through the awesome grace and mercy of our Lord as well as endless prayers and countless hours of intercession to the Lord on my behalf by my family, He has brought me back and saved my heart and life with His love. I know that He is the only reason I am who I am today, and all that I will ever be or accomplish will be for the glory of Him and His kingdom.

Just recently, the Lord has completely changed my heart about a huge area in my life... my family. In the past, The devil has succeeded in driving me away from my family in every aspect possible. My family members are the only people have stuck with me through all the hell I have put them through. They have been constant and true, and for most of my life, the enemy has blinded me and deceived me into believing that they were against me and not for me. The Lord managed to grab a hold of my heart and slowly show my bitter self the truth. My family blessed me by coming to College Station for my birthday. At my birthday dinner, I apologized to my family and brought my relationships with them into the light of the Lord where they can finally flourish and grow rather than in the dark where they were dying. I am so blessed to have a father who pursues me and fights fiercely for me while giving me the environment to be captivating in. I have an amazing mother who's love and compassion have gotten me through many horrible times in my life. She is my mentor and example of the woman I long to be. I have a big brother who is an amazing man of God. He shows me the kind of man I want to marry and teaches me daily with his actions. He has an amazing wife who constantly amazes me with her joy and sweet spirit. (They also have a blog thetopofthehills.blogspot.com that is amazing and I highly suggest you read it... the Lord will speak to you through it)

The Lord is growing me and maturing me into the woman He wants me to be. I hope you enjoy experiencing my growth right along with me!

Love,
Heritage Marie
