I Am Washed By The Water :)

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

2 Corinthians 5:17

On Thursday, May 10, 2012, I celebrated my One year sobriety and I asked Coach to baptize me, to show my outward dedication to the Lord. As everyone knows, Coach and Mama Brown have followed the Lord, and moved out of the house to pursue things with Family and YWAM Houston. This has had an emotional effect on me. I have grown extremely close to these two. I felt like it would be very special to me to have Coach do the ceremony. He has been a father figure in my life over this past almost year I have been at Fatherheart. My walk with the Lord has become so strong. 

Also, I saw Ethan, Logan and Kurt on Saturday, the 21st of April. It was such a blessing to see them. It really made me happy. I can not believe how big he's getting. I can not believe that in two weeks he'll already be 5 months old!! :( Next thing I know he'll be a year old!!!
I will get to see them some time in June again. I can not wait! :) :) :) 

There are new things going on here at Fatherheart, nothing that will change my status really. I have been assured that I am still going to be here, but we're going to get through these two girls that are left, and then pray about new house parents. It was really hard telling Mama Brown and Coach good bye, but I knew their time was up.
About a week before they were actually leaving, The Lord confirmed it to me that it was going to happen. He was getting my heart and emotions ready for this hard time for me. The Lord gave me dreams about them leaving, and though I did not want to believe or think about it, I knew it was happening. I was crushed but I know the Lord is doing good and big things for them, and for me! :) 

I went to the Prophetic Conference at CCF and while there a lady prayed over me, and said the Lord gave her the word Boldness, and that I will need it. I think that that prophesy was fulfilled with the leaving of the Browns. Each day it gets better just like my grieving from the adoption. I know that it's never a goodbye forever, I know their for me and not against me. 

I am still doing alright with probation, I have been sending in money but still seem to be getting discouraged by the officer. He isn't a christian I think, so I pray that he sees the Lord through me and my fruits.

Thanks everyone for the prayers still! LOVE YOU ALL!!! :) :) :)
