I met with a godly woman, who I believe hears the Lord yesterday. Here are some things I learned from her (some of them I already knew, but kinda forgot or something):
1) I have two tanks inside of me, one is the flesh and one is the spirit. I am not how I feel, so when I don't feel like doing things or acting a certain way that I know the Lord wants me to act then all I have to do is take some of the spirit from the other tank and God will give me the strength to be obedient...even in small things like cleaning house or encouraging Eric.
2) I am not who people tell me I am, or who the enemy tells me I am. I am a daughter of the King and he loves me no matter what I do or how I react. I don't have to believe the lies, only the truth. I just have to learn how to discern between the two.
3) I am free and I have chosen not to walk in that freedom. The Lord has given me freedom, but I have not accepted it yet. I want to accept it, but I don't think I know how to fully walk in it right now.
It was a good meeting.

About Me
- Andrea Bowman
- Flower Mound, Texas, United States
- I became a Christian at a young age, and grew up hearing about the gospel of Christ. I learned a lot and was stretched by my youth pastor, a summer event known as the Houston Project that I participated in for 9 years and going to college at Southwest Baptist University. These events shaped me and made me love God more in different ways. After graduating through some crazy events that can only be the Lord I moved to the DFW area and stumbled across The Village Church. I felt at home as soon as I walked in and have been here ever since. Through another series of random events that can only be the Lord I joined the staff and met my husband. I've been married to Eric Bowman for a little over a year and it is fantastic! When I look back at my life so far I am so thankful for the things that God has taught me and the things that I have had to go through in order to arrive at this place. I will never doubt the Lord's sovereignty just from how intricately he has worked in my own life.

Good stuff. Daughter of the King. i love that.
i just like you. i meant it when i said lets hang out soon. because i think you are neat and i wish i knew you better. that is all.
How is it that God knows exactly what someone needs to be reminded of? How is it that the three things you wrote down are exactly what I struggle with? When am I going to stop being surprised by God? And when am I going to trust Him?
I found your blog through the Chilton's blog. This post and the one before it could not be any closer to what I am going through. I also go to The Village. If you find an answer to #3 please let me know, because I am defnitely struggling right now. My blog, although it's not very much, is www.leannehoge.wordpress.com. Thanks for being so honest.
