Vision

Real education should educate us out of self into
something far finer--into a selflessness which
links us with all humanity. 
~Nancy Astor

Vision, our ability to see beyond our current circumstances, is crucial to any transformation in our lives.  When that vision into the future includes a spiritual, godly perspective that's even better.  We have been walking alongside two women from Free2BMe and we have great news from their lives! These two members are going back to school! They have come to a point that they value and understand that they are worthy. That they are more than capable of fulfilling dreams in their life. 

One is beginning her GED education with a local vocational school and is well into her 30's with children nearing their own high school graduation.  The other is beginning to define for herself a vision plan that sets out where she and God are going together.  She is pursuing big things in the medical rescue field and has begun to reach out for those amazing opportunities that she has been selling herself short on for years. 

It has been amazing to sit with these ladies, to be their friend, and walk with them on this migration towards something finer than their circumstances.  God has been so faithful to each of them and is helping them to connect with humanity and reconnect to his purpose of loving others, as they love themselves. 

I sit back and I think about the journey that I have been on with one of these ladies particularly and I am blown away by what God has been up to.  I have been blessed to watch a broken woman turn into a beautiful butterfly that is learning to fly...learning to dream big...learning to envision a bright future because she knows more than anything that she is loved!!!! She's learning healthy boundaries and transparency with her hurts and pains. She's learning to let go and to forgive herself and others.  She's learning to love more deeply and live more fully human. I stand in awe of God in her.
