Two years ago (November 2015) when I answered the call into ministry, I had no idea what God had in store for my life and my marriage. I had no idea the doors He would open for me to walk through or the paths He would have me follow. I just knew that His plan for my life was so much better than mine. The phone call I received last week from from J-103 radio station is a phone call I will never forget......As many of you know, my testimony is on the website comeonletsgo.com 
​(a website with hundreds of different testimonies). A gentleman who had previously worked as the Executive Producer at Chattanooga's News Channel 3 watched it and told J103 that he was inspired by my boldness and transparency and would like to set up a meeting with Jason and I. We met with him today and I am still in shock... He wants to shoot a documentary of our testimony on how God saved our marriage. The filming crew will come to our house and film just a normal day in our life and they also want to film us teaching our Wednesday night Covenant Couples class at church and show what God is doing in our lives. It will be aired on NBC in Chattanooga as well as Reno, Nevada since they own a station there as well. There are over one million viewers in the viewing area where this will be aired. The scripture is right when He says that He will poor out more blessings that you can even handle - THIS is just another one of those blessings.
They want to start shooting next week but with my ministry schedule and my events through December, we may have to hold off until January. But we will see! I just can't believe it y'all, we have made such a mess out of our lives, we just can't believe this is happening right now. Honored and humbled just doesn't even begin to tell you how Jason and I are feeling right now. Again, HE is the reason why we are still married and are able to tell our testimony. Without HIM, there is no US. We will keep you posted!

As America celebrated the 4th of July this past week, I couldn't help but think about the true freedom we have in Christ. I am beyond thankful for living in a free country, but the freedom I found in Christ a few years ago is the freedom that will last for eternity. 

As most of us have a past, before we became believers, some of us tend to live in the captivity of our past. Jesus does not call for us to live in our past but to live in the freedom He so freely offers us. But just as our freedom in America cost a hefty price, the price Jesus paid on the cross for us to live in freedom was the ultimate price, too. 

The most important thing we need realize before we can be set free, is to recognize the bondage of sin we are actually in. Some people do not want to be freed, they are afraid of change. When you begin to live for God, your old habits must change. You are no longer the person you use to be. The enemy is a liar and he is deceitful. He paralyzes us into thinking we will never escape the darkness we live in and bondage of sin we suffer from. The devil is the one who throws our past up into our face and deceives us into thinking we will never be free from our past mistakes.  But Jesus came to set us free from those lies and the reminders of our past mistakes. The blood He shed on calvary for us is what makes us FREE INDEED!

​Three years ago RIGHT THIS MINUTE, I was living in the deepest, darkest hole of my life. I was in two affairs with two different married men, lying to my husband and family and living two completely different lives. I was so broken, I had nowhere to turn and no one to talk to. Who was going to listen to me? I felt alone and lost as I continued to bury myself deeper into the hole. Satan was my only friend, telling me LIES that I was believing. It felt good to have that positive attention. The compliments I was receiving constantly was like a drug addiction. All the while going home to my husband of 12 years and my 4 year old and 8 year old daughters. The enemy kept telling me that I can get out any time I wanted to, but I couldn't. Sin is like quicksand, you put your toe in it, then your foot, then your leg and all of a sudden your entire body is engulfed in sinking sand. But PRAISE GOD, I got to the bottom of my pit and HE is the one who pulled me out! And I now know my purpose in life - my ministries & serving Him! My life is forever change!

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see brokenness? Pain? Unworthy? A past that you can't change? Unfortunately we look at ourselves in a mirror and we are disgusted at what we see. We see the lines on our face that show we are no longer 18 years old. We see the cellulite on our legs from lack of exercise. We see stretch marks on our belly from the children we carried. We see spider veins on our legs from the hard work we put in every day. We see the tired eyes of a woman who works endlessly for her family. But the beautiful thing in all of this, is that is not how God sees us. 

God sees us as a beautiful, pure bride for His church. He sees flawless skin, beautiful eyes and a past that does not determine our future. Whatever it is that the enemy is lying to you about as you look in the mirror, take the opposite of that and tell yourself THAT is who you are. God does not see who the enemy sees, God sees the REAL you! 

What would your mirror tell you today? My mirror would tell me that I am a product of my past mistakes. But God flipped it around and told me "YOU ARE NOT YOUR PAST MISTAKES!" 

Next time you look in the mirror, do not listen to the enemy. Defeat the lies of the enemy by speaking truth into the mirror.
