I have opinions. I have lived through 6 and a half decades of experience. I've done well, and I've failed miserably. If you don't like me, fine. Sorry about that. But I'm not about to grovel in order to have a relationship with you.
For many years, I "died to self". I believed that if I put my husband first, and my children first, that somehow this was a godly Christian thing to do. It wasn't. I spent decades believing that I had no voice, and that I was not entitled to an opinion. I was a woman, and a wife, and I should be small and insignificant and submissive and quiet. No more. I am a child of the King. I am unique, created in His image, with purpose and a niche that only I can fill. I trust in the Lord with all of my heart and lean not onto my own understanding. I believe He directs my paths. I also know He has a plan to prosper me, and not to harm me. He has given me a hope and a future. I can't see into the future, but I know God's got it in control. I love how He told Moses that He would bring plagues upon Egypt, but that Pharaoh would not listen, and would refuse to let the people go. God warned Moses that Pharaoh wasn't going to budge, and that it was going to be a long, hard road. God knows what He has planned for me. He alone knows how to bring good out of my life. I will trust, I will trust in Him.
