TAKEN!!!!!

if you have not seen this movie "taken" i recommend it!.. i've seen it 3 times but actually watched all of the movie 2 times! HEHE, its really full on! Its about what happens in Europe with traffiking of young women... i say no more!
i love the father in this movie, he is so dedicated to his daughter, and while she is been violated, Her dad does everything in his will to find her and bring her back to him!
this story is quite similar to mine, My father in Heaven rescued me from much violation and has bought me back and restored and healed me!
In this movie you look at the girls situations, and the first thought is they have nothing now! like how could they possibly be made whole again and be restored from such violation?!?!
Jesus is the answer, nothing else can restore and redeem other then Jesus!
Remember your father in heaven who can free you from the boundage of any past mistreatment!
my hope is to give others hope who may still live in toremenmt from there past, that they may know the God my my healing and restoration!

greater is He that is in me then he that is in the world

Its hard to take a look at this world and see the beauty of all woman being completely mistreated.
we live in a world where expectations SCREAM at woman to look a certain way...
The more I take a look the more i see how much woman are ripped off and are getting ripped off!
i struggled with an eating disorder for soooo long, too long actually, once i was so consumed by anorexia it felt like it became my whole identity, it was my life at one stage and was completely trapped in its bondage.
Thankfully entering Mercy ministries, has saved my life and now i am completely free and recovered from such a trap.
I call any eating disorder or bad body image a trap! as once you pay attention to it continually, you become trapped in its lifestyle. i have come from being extremely low body image (which involved alot of harm to myself) to now being free and able to love myself as God loves me and accepts me!
I have found it a little overwhelming in how much this world focuses on beauty and really disorders it!! Disoders it to the point where the inner man is not counted one bit, and catagorizes people in sections of image and looks. which leaves people compareing and in competition.
All this is so close to home for me as i have been on both paths!
The path i am on now is one of true beauty within and on the out side!
when we hate the way we look we are saying to God "God i hate the way you made me"!!!!!!!!!
But you need to know God never created trash but he created beauty and had a GREAT deal of pleasure when He created you!
You know pslams 139, i'm fearfully and wonderfully made! like far out!! He totally thought about every single detail, and with great honour of you he made you!!! so please please please the next time you feel like getting caught up on how the world see's beauty, just know there is a God living inside you that is far greater then the one in the world that is lieing to you everyday!!!!!
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL BEYOND MEASURE!!!!!!!!
beleive but most of all live it!!!!!

nearly 3 months!!!

Hi! nearly 3 months since i have graduated from Mercy Ministries!
its been a good ride hey! a few challenges on the way but i can stand here today and say i have used all my stratagies and have overcome them all!
the last few weeks have been hard, even more so the last week! but you know what i need to constantly remind myself of not giving in! not giving in to the enemies plan!
i started this blog a little later then i would of liked to since graduating but i will just give you the run down of how life has been the last 3 months!
its been so supported! my church i attend has been great and its very alive there! plenty of people i know who are careing and have a heart for young girls with simliar pasts as i have!
i have been volunteering at the church office as a receptionist! its totally given me expereince and will help me in the future! so ever since i have got out of mercy i have been straight in to volunteering!
i had the honour to share my testimony at the womans meeting at church! that was really powerful for me personally as i got to share a bit bout Godly beliefes! how important it is to believe what God says and not what that enemy says to us!
that was back in November!
just been forming friends and that is definantly hard! trusting new people is really hard and just trying to fit in, its all been a little daunting!

i have kept strong and overcame alot within he last months, but i feel now is the hardest time as all honey moon times have faded and now its just all a challenge really!
but i know there is this freedom i have experienced in such a great way that God has given me! and he hasn't given it to me to live out in Mercy but out in the world where it is tough and hard but the freedom comes along with much strength!
