Ecourage to Freedom

I have been reading my friend Niki's blog and I have been blessed by her honesty and willingness to share her secrets. Her hard to share honesty is something to aspire to. It really is refreshing to hear/read the honesty in ones heart. When we recently chatted about the topic of sharing our secrets, we discussed how sharing secrets isn't for everyone on the same level but yet it seems we are asked by God to be real and transparent. We concluded that each should share as the Spirit leads them to. So what do you do if you sense God asking you to tell a large group of women your "bad and ugly" past? You say "Yes" of course..... and then ...eeeekkk
Last winter the Spirit sorta nudged me to start thinking about helping other women know what it means to not live in secret and to encourage women to tell their secrets to help themselves and others experience freedom. At that time I had no idea what this was going to look like but I knew part of it meant sharing my story of becoming free. I kept the idea smoldering and this November the date has arrived. November 18 at the church will be an evening called Encourage to Freedom. I will share my freedom story and a challenge.
I guess at some point I'll have to share that story here but not until the time the spirit leads me to.
Women - keep that date open and I hope to see you out.
