where we write for 5 minutes on a prompt she throws out there for us... so here it is:
Bare –
When I think of this word I think of how I am walking right
now. I feel like my God is stripping away all the things I have clung to for my
own self- preservation and protection. I have made this choice willingly, to
allow Him to do this, but I will admit that every once in a while, the pain is
intense enough to want to throw in the towel and quit.
But what I do know about Him is that in the stripping down,
there is always a re-clothing. A gift of a new wardrobe on the other side - a
wardrobe of solid identity in Him, confidence that comes from my core not my
rational brain, and the ability to believe Him when He says I am “fearfully and
wonderfully made.” (Ps 139).
So, I say again, “Yes, Lord”, I come to you bare, all things
between You and me stripped away, releasing my will to Yours knowing that Your
plan, Your process for me is far more than I could ever imagine (Eph. 3:20).

Isn't that the truth! When we allow God to take off all the dirty rags we've put on ourselves we get a new wardrobe of His choosing - and it is glorious! Thank you for sharing your journey. So thankful that I linked up after you at Lisa-Jo's.
Very True, been there done that have the T-shirt to prove it :) Keep it up my friend, God's plan for our life is always soooooooo much better. Sometimes the journey is tougher than we want it to be but it is always worth the travel.
