I was a dead woman walking.

Didn't even know it.

Dry bones.

Unable to breathe.

Tearless.

Satan's lies.

I believed.

Grave.

My destiny.

God. Crazy. Freedom.

What is this? 

I checked out the link.

Workshops.

Forgive Again.

Walk in Confidence.

Have Courage.

Feel Whole Again.

Surrender.

Go.

Sarah, Go!

I go.

Doubtful.

What am I doing here?

How did I get talked into this fashion show?

Me model?

This is not me!

Surrounded by beautiful women.

Confident.

Radiant.

Courageous.

Happy.

I sat on a row by myself.

I watched them talk.

Laugh.

Swap Stories.

I felt so out of place.

What was I doing?

Make an excuse.

Get out of this.

Registration table needs me.

Fashion show is too close to registration.

Don't you need me there?

No, Michelle said with a smile.

The schedule has changed.

Fashion show is after the video.

Plenty of time.

Looks like I'm doing this.

Can I interview you?

What?

Just share a little about your story.

Why you're here.

Unprepared?

You don't have to.

No.

I will.

God, I need you.

Why am I here?

Freedom...

Okay.

I can do this.

Just smile.

Be calm.

Stop sweating.

Fit in.

Just walk.

Speak.

I share my story.

Tears begin to flow.

Breathe.

I can breathe.

I can breathe again.

Worship.

Women Baring their Souls.

Workshops.

Life changing experiences.

These women.

My soul sisters.

They're real women.

They hurt just like me.

They have a story just like me.

They fall.

They struggle.

But, something is different.

Purpose.

They have purpose.

Below are just a few words I've heard from these women…then I'm going to share what I took away from God Crazy Freedom.

"Condition of your heart…what is it?

Rebecca Contreras

"Feed the hope, not the fear…where is your source of life coming from?"

Paige Henderson

"Reach for God's yes, and reject man's no."

Tracey Mitchell

"GET UP!"

Wendie Pett

"The power of the Holy Spirit in us can bring healing, hope, and restoration. 

From the dessert to the harvest."

Robin Bertram

"Satan wants to steal your vision, 

so he can take away your purpose, so you lose your identity in Christ."

Madison Sarah

"God will give us what we want to show us how empty it is."

Rebecca Carrell

"The battlefield is fought and won between our ears."

Punky Tolson

Now, Lisa Ostrowski.

I didn't get to quote.

I didn't attend her workshop.

She didn't share her story.

Hugs. Smiles. Joy.

Sweet. Sweet. Spirit.

Your actions speak louder than words.

Friends.

This is what I learned.

I was dead.

Dead Woman Walking.

How Long?

Not sure.

Why was I dead?

That I can answer.

I had lost my first love.

Jesus.

His Word.

His precious, precious Word.

I believed the lies.

The circumstances.

Placing the blame on others.

Rock bottom.

Going through the motions.

Trying to be good enough.

Epic Fail.

This weekend.
Easter Weekend.

God answered my prayer.
He raised me from the dead

God gave me FREEDOM.

God. Crazy. Freedom!

SHARE THE FREEDOM!
