Make sure that you have read Part 1 of “Miracles in the Heart” before you go on. The Lord did a lot in my heart this past weekend that built on the foundation I got the weekend of World Mandate.

Discovery! Training - February 16-18, 2007
This past weekend was amazing. I went through part 1 of Discovery! Training in Plano. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I had some ideas about what I wanted to get out of it. A couple of friends of mine that originally told me about it said, “Just trust me. It will change your life.” That’s really all I needed to hear.

I’m just going to share what was done in my heart this weekend. I don’t want to share details of the conference, because it’s very special and you should go through it to see for yourself I will say that there are many stories like mine and even bigger miracles!

For years, I have dealt with loneliness, rejection issues, anxiety, low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, low motivation, and really not much joy. I knew Jesus, what He did for me, how much He loved me, but I had allowed hurtful circumstances from past friendships and relationships to scar my heart and hold me back from allowing Jesus to love me. I held on so tight to the failed horizontal relationships that I wasn’t able to allow the Lord to really love me.

It got to the point where a lot of the truths that I knew about Jesus were only in my head. I had shut them, and in turn Him, out of my heart. I felt empty and lonely and feared more rejection. This caused me to not want to invest in friendships and relationships that didn’t already show some sign of potential from the other party. I didn’t want to risk rejection again. This may come as a surprise to some, because I tried hard to hide it. I was also very open once the other person initiated the effort.

These reservations carried over into every aspect of my life. I was so afraid of failing, that I tended to shy away from anything that required that risk. This affected personal relationships, academics, positions of leadership, etc.

Not now! This weekend, Jesus broke through and helped me get over my past hurts and really give them over to Him. He took them away and helped me to realize in my heart my true worth. Jesus is my identity! In Him, I am courageous and deserving!

Oh! I can’t even begin to express how great this feels. I’ve had a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. I feel the love of Christ constantly. I am able to look people in the eyes when I pass them on the sidewalk. I want to run after Jesus and get to know His heart more. I have returned to my first love!

Now my heart is to know Him and walk with Him daily and help others break free just as I have! I’m so excited to see Him move in more and more peoples’ lives.

God wants to work miracles in your life, too! Please look into Discovery at http://www.discovery-training.com and seriously consider going through this program. Like my friend told me, “Trust me, it will change your life. You deserve it!” Let me know if you have any questions about it. I’d love to sponsor you!
