People are awesome. 

I am certainly a people person. I am energized by being around people. I don't even have to say anything around these people, but just to exist with them. Or I can say something, like what I am thinking or speak my mind, and people either look at me or laugh cause I said something like "they had to go 'by' the 'yuck' " (had to be there.) or they challenge my thinking, which I totally welcome and thrive on. 

So many special people come in and out of my life (did you know the word "file" is just "life" with the letters twisted around? I probably knew this but just rediscovered it as I typed "file" as I was trying to type "life." So yah, sometimes you just gotta be in my mind.). 

Who has played a memorable role in your life? There are so many in my life. In critical seasons of life, God seems to find just the right people and He causes my path to cross with them, and He does glorious things. 

I am becoming more and more grateful for Kymm. She lives here on the Ranch with me/us. Her family moved into the ministry just a few months before I did. God has used her in so many critical times in my life.

I've learned what it feel like to be discipled by an older woman. She speaks so much wisdom and truth into my life, but not her truth or wisdom, God's wisdom and truth. One night, I'll never forget, it was a revolutionary night for me. She said: "Shelly, what will you really loose?" 

She was right? What did I have to loose? Nothing, if anything, I had everything to be grateful and thankful for, and everything to gain. God used her to speak to me and loosen chains of bondage. 

I was free.

I am free.

I will continue to be free.
