It’s been a crazy week, so this is the first chance I’ve had to sit down and read your blog. Wow! Your story is amazing because it really does make Jesus the hero. He was the hero that restored your brokenness, he was the hero to bring you authentic friends, and he is still the hero as you bring honor to Him for all that He’s done and is doing in your life…this is why He will continue using you to share this message, because Jesus is glorified!!

Thank you for sharing straight from your heart. Great job Rebecca!!!

“God never intended for us to be each other’s Holy Spirit. He intended that we love one another as He has loved us. That’s our job. It’s God’s job to make the changes needed to cause us to reflect His holiness. It’s His kindness that leads us to repentance. Judgment only drives us away.”

Wow girl – now that will preach!

I pray each of my daughters has women/mentors/friends/writers in their lives like you someday. You are a priceless treasure in my life for sure and I wouldn’t want them to miss out on such a jewel in their own lives.

Love you dearly – Kisha

Your freedom to share unabashedly about your life is bringing others the boldness and freedom to do the same. We must all allow God’s Liight to permeate every area of our souls, in order to fully receive His wholeness…all of me…none of Him….some of me…some of Him…none of me …all of Him.

Thank you, Rebecca, for being such an inspiration to women and men from various backgrounds and cultures.

Thanks for being so vulnerable to share your sin and your pridefulness. I’ve had so many instances where I’ve been exposed for my past sin and it’s gone so bad. It’s hard for me to be vulnerable because of the hurt I have endured from people who say they are Christians and turn their back on me when I have messed up. I’ve always thought that my broken relationships with them is now a consequence to my sin. It’s hard for me to not feel shame for my past sins when I’m always reminded of the friends that left me. The friends that continue to only see me for the sinful person I once was.
I’m thankful that I was able to have that new start in Texas. And I know God wants me to use my story for His glory…. but I still struggle to.

Love you Rebecca… and Happy Birthday!
