Welcome! My name is Rebecca, and I am glad you stopped by. I hope you are encouraged, blessed, and challenged by what you read here. I have been a “Christian” for 25 years, however my experience living an abundant life has been much more recent. On April 29th, 2012 I received a new Life in Christ as I was finally able to experience the freedom Jesus created me for. Strongholds were broken once and for all, and I have been soaring on the mountain-tops ever since. (See my blog Freedom is Here.) I am now free from more than a decade of lies and deceptions I had bought into and have been completely transformed. I thought I loved Jesus before, but now I can say Jesus is my LIFE. I will never be the same, I have been transformed and renewed.
My new life verse is 1 Corinthians 6:11 “You were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”
If you would like more information on experiencing the freedom and abundant life of Christ every day for the rest of your life, visit www.ficm.org. If you struggle with addiction visit www.freedomfromaddiction.org. (Neil T. Anderson)
If you would like to know more about my journey to freedom, feel free to email me: babyaarup@hotmail.com, I would also love to pray for you.
I also enjoy reading Charles Spurgeon, Thomas Manton, Oswald Chambers, Adrian Rodgers, Zane Hodges, Bob Wilkin, John Eldredge, Neil T. Anderson, John Phillips, Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Anne Graham Lotz, Kay Arthur, Beth Moore…and many more!
I have a beautiful little girl, Samantha Jean, who is 4. She is a tiny little Christ follower who loves Jesus with faith like a child. I love her beautiful heart! She is a treasure to my soul, and God has used her in my life to change MY heart in so many ways. One of my greatest joys is listening to her walk around singing Our God and other Chris Tomlin favorites.
My husband, Chris, works very hard so I can stay home with Samantha, training her in the way she should go. I have recently enrolled in the Christian Writers Institute and Liberty Home Bible Institute, looking to further my education in Biblical studies and writng. I am blessed to have the opportunity (though not always easy) to stay at home.
Apart from studying the word of God, writing and spending time with my family, I enjoy playing the piano/synth with our Worship Team at Desert Springs Bible Church under the leadership of Pastor Danny Hunkin. God has stretched me, molded me, and taught me more about true heart service via this ministry then anything I have ever been a part of. Worship starts with my heart and posture before God in order for it to be effective in leading others to His feet.
As you spend time at this site, I pray you will ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into truth (John 16:13) and that He will open your eyes to new and wonderous treasures from His word (Psalm 119:18). I pray we can grow and mature together in our walk with Jesus.
May your light shine bright before the world, that they may be pointed to the truth of the cross. (Matthew 5:16) Thank you for coming by, and may the peace of God guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus! (2 Thessalonians 3:16)
~Rebecca

John Eldredge is a favourite of mine too..
I’m in a place in my life right now..where God is healing me from years of pain..and I’ve only really recently (over the past 2 or so months) reconnected on a level where I can finally recognise who *I* am..
I thank you for stopping by my blog..your posts are really a blessing..
I’m looking forward to reading more..learning more and being blessed!
Thanks for dropping by my site. Lord bless!!
Thanks for visiting my site. It gave me the chance to see yours – and it was a blessing. I can relate to you since I was brought up in a very legalistic church. I, too, am starting to walk in the realization that I don’t have to earn God’s love. I’m glad to have found your site. Keep spreading the good Word!
