My father changed into someone my mom hasn't expected after dating and marrying him after six months. My father is a negative and abusive man. My concern had always been that this person this identity will become me.

When I was in middle school I began hitting my sisters because I was angry. Afterwards, I would cry and cry and cry. I begged God to take the anger from me. Finally one day, I felt it go. I made a decision to never open myself up to that again,

I have always been concerned that this would renter my life after I got married. Since I have yet to be, it has always been a nerve-wrecking thought. Would the pressure be so much that I would revert back to the person I was? This is not even close to the identity I have and hold today, but I always want to be cautious.

Today the Lord assured me that this will not happen. I need to step forward in the belief in that. The Lord said that the past has truly died and I am free in the new creation. AWESOME words! Awesome feeling!!
