I'm Heather Rose.
...and I really don't know how to start this off!
I've always been a pretty open person. But lately, I've closed up on myself. I don't like trusting; I've been hurt so many times. So it's odd that I want to post up some of my more personal thoughts in a public forum. This isn't like me.
But this won't be a super personal gush-fest. This isn't going to be like reading my diary, and this isn't going to be some boy-obsessed tirade or random rants about what I did with my time that day.
I have too many goals, too many dreams; too many visions and wishes and hopes and prayers to waste one more bit of it on things that are trivial or that cause me to get my focus off of the One who gives me breath.
I'm making this blog to chronicle the changes that are going to take place in me during this summer, and hopefully beyond.
The changes that will develop me from a scared, vain, learning girl (what I am now) to a God-obsessed, confident, strong woman (what I will become). Even though that will be a process that takes a lifetime, I'm already recognizing some amazing changes that God has already begun to work in me.
God has been putting me in the face of my biggest fears lately; molding me and shaping me into who He wants me to be; emptying me and filling me with Him. I've learned that while this process can be extremely fulfilling, it is also EXTREMELY painful.
But I am privileged. He is beginning to speak through me and move in me like never before. He's showing me the wonderful future He has for me, the plans that have not yet come to pass, and He's teaching me how to trust Him.
This is also the time that I'm dealing with SO much opposition from the other side. The devil has been pulling on me hardcore. But resisting the devil will make him flee, and to do that, I've been worshiping right when I feel like giving up.
I feel like a warrior :) For the first time in my life. I feel like I'm part of a battle. And it's hard as all get-out. But I love it. Cause I already know that I'm on the winning side.
So for the few of you who read this over the next few months...you are going to watch God bring beauty from these ashes :)
