The Lord has already worked to transform my life through Karla’s question on the kick-off Zoom and Susan’s answers. Regrets, bad experiences, and even scary “could’ve beens” continued to haunt me over the past 10 years until the Holy Spirit spoke to me through these two ladies’ sharing. I woke up in the middle of the night Monday night (when these bad memories like to haunt me), and I just began talking to the Lord about it. I unpacked each one and the Lord led me to deal with them head on by doing so. In each case He showed me a positive takeaway, the way He was there through it all. Now that truth of how He was there (for example, He protected or rescued me), is my defense should a bad thought try to creep back in. These haunting memories have robbed me of enjoying all the good memories with my husband and sons over the years. I couldn’t enjoy looking back at old photos for the ugly reminders some of them would bring up. The Lord showed me that the regrets and bad memories had robbed me of my joyful memories all these years, so after dealing with them head on, He said to now freely look back through my pictures and let His joy, peace, and blessing fill that space now, and that I deserve that. “Old things have passed away…” I am no longer a slave to thoughts of bad experiences and memories. I am set free! Free to enjoy Christ’s joy, peace, and blessings any time of day or night AND when I look at my photos. I can’t tell you how great this feels! I thank You, Jesus, and give You praise!
