Thank you all for your prayers and love for me. It means so much to me. The Lord is doing great work in my heart and life. It amazes me how the Lord changes my heart on a matter and not the circumstances. Everything is still the same, but me.
Recently, the Lord has asked me a scary question. He asked, "Will you die for Me?" I have to admit I was pretty nervous when He asked that. Then He explained, "Erica, I want you to die to all your dreams, plans, and ambitions." I laid there in silence. I thought, "Lord, I am disppointed with how my life has turned out." "I always thought i would be a "frontline" person in your army, but no I'm stuck at home." "Lord, if I give up my dreams, I'll be stuck in my prison forever."
So, I laid my dreams down at Jesus feet. I told Him I surrender all...that I really want to love Him. Then Jesus sweetly reminded me that my prison is a gift from Him. You see I'm not required to be anywhere. I'm free to be with my sons, and love them. Also I'm free to use my gift of intercessory prayer anytime I'm led too. Though I am not a "frontline" person, I get to influence the "frontlines" by prayer and fellowship. That is so big to me! My prison is now a beautiful palace and I love it!
