005. strongholds...

Hey, it's just me. I just got back from the Bible study I attend every week. We are going through Beth Moore's "Breaking Free" study. It's a study to help women break free from the bondages in their lives that are keeping them from a satisfying and fulfilling life with God.

Today the video segment topic was on "Binding the Brokenhearted." I so wish they had free versions of the video segments so I could post it. Anyway, the main message was to prove that as much stuff as we try to fill up our lives with, we can't completely fill the crevasses. Only water can completely fill: heavenly water. 

Anyway, at the end of the study our leader showed us a video from Big Daddy Weave called "Redeemed." Anything that we have done or been through, we are redeemed from it. Anything that we think about ourselves that's negative, God can free us from that. So, our leader told us to, while listening to the song, write down what you feel, or what God is speaking to our hearts about ourselves in relation to the song. I suggest that you do the same. I'm going to conclude with what I wrote, and have a link for the song underneath. 

~All my life, I never felt good enough for anyone. Anything that I did was supposedly not my best. I was told that I needed to work better; I needed to try harder. I've always compared myself to others, which forced me to not be confident in not only myself, but my work as well. Grades and achievements had always defined who I am. I need to learn that I am not defined by what I do, but who I am in God. And that's my stronghold.~

 But hey, it's just me.
