Where I am:
Abundance - "an extremely plentiful or oversufficient quantity or supply; overflowing fullness."
I am a 32 year old, mother of 4 precious children, ages; 14,9,6 and 4. I currently homeschool, and have homeschooled my kids for 8 years and counting. I am a wife of 10 years to the most loving, genuine, honorable man that I have ever known. I am currently studying for my degree in theology with a second degree in family, marriage and personal counseling. I write articles for my blog at http://rheanna10.wordpress.com .
I live free. I walk with confidence knowing that I no longer answer to the world, and it's lofty expectations. God sees me, He sees the real me, and is intimately walking beside me, cheering me on in this thing called life.
I have a deep passion to see people set free from the chains and heaviness that get wrapped around us all. I desire to seperate men and women from the opression that they've embraced and expose the truth about the assignments on each of our lives, and promote healthy spiritual living so they may walk in the assignment to LIVE and not to die.
Where I Came From:
Deficit - "a lack or shortage; deficiency."
I came from turmoil. I was at war with myself most of my life. Always seeking to be approved, but never finding security. Drugs, alcohol, sexual distortion, poverty, lack, death, disease, demons, and brokenness were constant companions to me all my young life. Exposure to these things created a disdain for life and people. I ran in circles, chasing the wind, searching for truth, for answers, for love.
I got pregnant at 17, graduated a couple months later, and started my young motherhood at a very large deficit. God got a hold of me when I was 22 and spun my life upside down.... or really should I say right side up!
Bridge - "A connecting, transitional, or intermediate route or phase between two adjacent elements, activities, conditions or the like."
Christ built a bridge for me to cross over into an abundant life, and now He is building me up as a bridge for my children and generations to come. To break generational chains, to rise up and become world changers. To leave legacy, make a difference in the world and touch the hearts and lives of men and women everywhere.
