  &nbsp; Some of you may remember an evening in the spring when we (Katie, Deb, Andy, Ben, Sam, not sure who else) were eating dinner at Super Taco and I declared that I had emancipated myself.
Well, I had, but I didn't do&nbsp;a very good job of it. See, it only lasted about 3 weeks and after that it fluctuated between different prisons... some of you know what i'm talking about, some of you don't, it's all good. :) &nbsp; Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that I was reminded this weekend that I don't have to emancipate myself, that I CAN'T emancipate myself. I was reminded the there is Someone who has already emancipated me. Someone who loves me, just the way I am.
My dream. Sweet of Him not to beat me over the head with His love, but instead to patiently remind me over and over and over again.&nbsp; I won't get into my own morally reprehensible behavior towards Him...&nbsp; New favorite hymn, In Christ Alone, favorite verse of said hymn to follow... &nbsp; No guilt in life, no fear in death &nbsp; This is the power of Christ in me.
&nbsp; From life's first cry to final breath &nbsp; Jesus commands my destiny. &nbsp; No power of hell, no scheme of man &nbsp; Can ever pluck me from His hand. &nbsp; Til He returns, or calls me home &nbsp; Here in the&nbsp;power of Christ I'll stand. See the girl with the broken smile? that's me. She will be loved. urlLink postCount('109095866521493241'); urlLink
