So true, Lauren. What an awesome revelation. I can truly agree with this in my spirit. Thank you for sharing. To add to the part where you spoke of accepting rejection, etc, and not having the right to be angry or resentful. That is very true, but keep in balance that we do have the right, even the duty to confront, in love and wisdom, those who we are in relationship with when they hurt us. I believe the Lord expects us to “speak the truth in love” and let others know our feelings when they have hurt us in some way, rather than to always let it go. Often, we allow others to continue in wrong ways when we don’t find the strength and courage to set healthy boundaries in our lives.
Partnering with me financially allows me to continue to minister to the Lord through worship, to stand before Him as a voice for the voiceless through the ministry of intercession, and to serve the orphan, widow, and homeless through works of justice. Your financial donations and prayer commitments have eternal weight to them and are remembered by Jesus. If this website or I have blessed you in any way or you believe in what I am doing, consider donating to his ministry.

Just a two cents on that. Love you much!
