I'm in a season where I know that I'm experiencing some person deconstruction in order to have parts of me rebuilt by Father that I decided to be come the builder of. It is a season in which I personally and in truth I believe the whole world is seeing everything that can be shaken, shaken and crumble to the ground so that it can be rebuilt. It is a season in which I'm being freed from some out right irrational fears. There really is a lot happening it seems all at once. Some of it I'm excited about and some of it I find out right uncomfortable and scary. I'm being vague, because I don't want to take up any more space then I already have.

I’m in a season where I know that I’m experiencing some person deconstruction in order to have parts of me rebuilt by Father that I decided to be come the builder of.

It is a season in which I personally and in truth I believe the whole world is seeing everything that can be shaken, shaken and crumble to the ground so that it can be rebuilt. It is a season in which I’m being freed from some out right irrational fears.

There really is a lot happening it seems all at once. Some of it I’m excited about and some of it I find out right uncomfortable and scary.

I’m being vague, because I don’t want to take up any more space then I already have.

I wish I had time to do this whole thing, but I don't....maybe soon. However, as soon as I thought about my "now" this just popped into my head: "Just TRY and put me back into that cage and see what you get!" I laughed out loud. It's so great to be free and roaming around in the wild! Hugs, Tracy Kathy, your creativity is amazing! I wish I had time to do this whole thing, but I don’t….maybe soon.
