I belong

Today, I've been seeking only the Lord for a lot of answers. One of the answers that He has given me, one of the many, started before I even knew I had the question. As Tim spoke on Joy this Sunday, and as the Lord confirmed over and over to me this past two weeks that He delights in me, the answer that God finished giving to me today is that: I belong.


I belong: to the Lord, and not to myself.

I belong: to the man set aside to be my husband.

I belong: to my family, to my father Andy, to my mother Anita, and to my sister Roxy.

I belong: to my shepherds, to my mother in the Lord Lori Wetmore, to my father in the Lord Jim Lee, to my grandfather in the Lord Jeff Adams, and to our high school pastor Kent Liles.

I belong: to the women I do battle with: to Amber, and to Rachael, and to Ariel.

I belong: to my disciples, to Laura and to Brooke.

I belong: to the young women in my home group, to Lauren, and Alex, and Bailey, and Elaine, and Kelsey, and Makenzey, and Shelby, and Paige, and Yanira.

I belong: to my crew: to Jamie, and Jacinda, and Lisa, and Toy, and Leo, and Victor, and Damiyahn, and Joel.

I belong: to the people of my church, to Kelly Lee, and Mary Roberts, and Robin Long, and Idalia, and the Sidebottoms, and Diego, and Mina, and Myika, and Alana, and Melenia, and Tylena, and Ché, and Talon, and Emilie, and Arianna, and Travis, and Amy, and Kristie, and Kylie, and Stacy, and Monica, and Janet...

I belong: to two very special children: to Robyn and to my godson.

I belong: to the two women who brought me through college: to Kt and to Tara.


Rom 14:7-8 - For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

It is a great, great, great blessing from the LORD to belong to so many people.

Greatest Fear

In going through Captivating with a friend, I was forced to ask myself what my greatest fear is. The book explains that for women, the greatest fear is abandonment. I really don't fear that as my "greatest fear." I then have been asking since yesterday what my greatest fear is. I had an idea, and I asked God to continue to give me confirmation that this was true. In less than 48 hours, He's confirmed it in 3 different ways. I've found out that my greatest fear is to be wrong. Wow - and just now typing it out knowing the cyber world can access it was really tough.

Praise God for answered prayer. Praise God as He continues to show me that only He is the protection for my heart. Please God, show me how to overcome my greatest fear.

1John 4:18 - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

I love You Papa.
