When i first got to the event in Nashville i just had this really upsetting feeling of.. " Mercy is the place that is the most special to my heart, but to Mercy i'm just another girl that graduated. ".. of course that sounds so selfish.. i wanted to be remembered.. and that's exactly how the enemy works.. he tried to turn something that is about others and God's glory in to something about me.. ugh. that little stinker.. but i didn't let him keep me down.. i realized that's actually GREAT that i'm just another girl thats life was TOTALLY TRANSFORMED by Mercy.. that means there were others whose lives were transformed! MANY MANY OTHERS! and that's awesome! plus, the longer i was there God blessed me with knowing that i wasn't forgotten.. NO GIRL is forgotten... the enemy is a liar after all.. and the staff don't forget. they love all of us girls so much that they work at Mercy ( and it's really REALLY not and easy job). they have to fight for their freedom just like everyone else, AND they help us girls fight too! Thank God for Mercy, and that this is only the beginning of what He is going to do with Mercy Ministries!

Thankful for Mercy
today i'm just so thankful for Mercy Ministries. this weekend i got to go visit Nashville and see so many of the people that poured into my life and love me so unconditionally while i was a resident at Mercy, and i got to go to and event to and see hundreds of people that were willing to give so much to Mercy to assist the Lord in the AMAZING transformation He does at Mercy. it was so refreshing to be around people that love God so much and believe in the Mercy and the girls that go through the program.
