When you first start a blog it's a little daunting to figure out what will I write as the opening to this new venture. When you think about it, this sets the stage for where this blog is heading, what will be the feeling of it. Considering I don't yet know what I want for this, I think it's best to just explain the title.
From ashes to beauty. God has touched me more than anything with these words. My sister in law was leading dance one night(it's praying and worship in dance, if you want to check it out go to c-hop on Saturday nights at 8) and played a song and told me she felt God said this was for you, meaning me. It's all about these "people" in bad positions, like being poor, or a harlot things like that and pulling them up and it says beauty arise over and over again. So of course i'm crying. Then it goes into saying "and all around were ashes..." and says that again and again, and more tears streaming. I felt it that night, but God has told me even more since then. Things like the world doesn't understand My beauty. Now I know what He means. He calls me beauty, He has changed my name to beauty! I love it, more than I can explain on here right at this point. So this is me, claiming that name, and sharing what I need to put out there.
So that's it. I'm hoping for love to poor out through this, and healing for everyone who reads it, and for myself, since I really don't know who is actually reading this :-)
I love you
