Hidden (United Pursuit, Will Reagan)

I woke up this morning with tears running down my face. I had a dream, and the last line before I woke up was, "I never thought I'd have to hide again." It. Wrecked. Me. As I was laying there, tears just falling, I asked Abba what that meant & He brought me to an encounter. All these different situations flashed before my eyes, like a quick trailer. I saw myself holding my heart in my hands. As I held my heart, different people flashed in front of me while I asked the question, "Will you hold my heart, too?" Each time, someone would reach out, smile, take my heart and crush it in their bare hands. It kept happening over and over again. Each time, I'd draw my heart closer to my body. As I looked down, this flame appeared inside of me that I could FEEL. Each time my heart was crushed, the flame got smaller until it became a whisper of smoke. In my hands was a shattered heart, pieces hard as stone yet smoldering in a pile of ashes. I then looked up at Jesus

I'm Coming Out of My Cages

I love how God speaks to me through music lyrics. Lately, I've had the Smart Shuffle in Spotify on when I'm jamming out, which is all the time. A song popped up by a band called, We The Kingdom, that I had not heard before. The song is called, "Cages". Here are the lyrics: What if I got real honest? What if I took a risk? What if I opened up my heart And let you see in? What if I took my mask off? Trying to fit in I don't wanna be a mannequin "What if I opened my heart and let you see in? What if I took my mask off?" This is what caught my immediate attention. These are questions that I have been dealing with for years. Last fall, God healed me from 22 years of trauma, 7 years of depression, severe social anxiety, & panic attacks. He gave me a sound mind, something I thought would take YEARS of EMDR. (That's a whole other story.) I've had to ask myself, what happens if I finally took the mask off? He's been so faithful in meeting me where
