bloggy Tuesday

well, it started as "bloggy Monday," which sounds a lot cooler, but since I never finished yesterday and then I accidentally (even with auto-save) managed to delete the post I was working on, I begin again. *sigh*

Can I just say that So Long Insecurity is messing with my world?   Okay, I know, it's God...last week it was fine, surfac-ey (forgive my grammatical liberties) but this week???  He is going after what He wants. Unabashedly. And by the way, nobody is tip-toeing around.  He obviously wants to get this job done.

The beautiful thing is that He and I have the kind of history that reassures me that I can trust Him.  And if you are in this kind of a season, you can trust Him too.  In the end, it's all gonna be worth it, because He wants me; He wants us to be free. Free of the chains of wrong beliefs--whether they be about ourselves or others.  Free of pretending.  Free to be the women of God He designed us to be.

We were never made to cower, never made to live in fear.  We were made for love. We were made for the enjoyment of the Father.   Embracing freedom in Christ will enable us to experience that fact.

Made For Love, Laura Hackett & Cory Asbury

No one else can love You like I love You, Lord
'Cause I was made unique in Your heart;
I was made to bring You joy!

I'm not usually a blogger...

...but here i am registering and taking my first, er, steps, which are actually taps on the computer keyboard.  Welcome to my blog.  Come on in, make yourself at home, pour yourself a glass of iced tea and grab a coconut macaroon.  We'll chat a bit.

Let me introduce myself to you. I am Cherie Daniel, married to Darrin for 22 years, mother of Lauren and Bradley.  I love the Word of God, pedicures, Mountains and thier lakes, travelling with my family, and laughing with my friends.  I need coffee every morning to wake up (wait--excuse me a minute--i knew there was something missing...okay, I'm back now.  Ahhhh; hazelnut latte.) and I must have a Boston creme donut from Dunkin Donuts every once in a while.

I am looking forward to serving another year in the Radiant women's ministry, love to see lives touched and changed, hearts won to Jesus.  Nothing is better than seeing someone grab onto hope and take it for thier own. 

Well, I guess that's enough for now. Thanks for stopping by; maybe I'll see you again soon.
