Have you ever struggled to forgive someone but you just couldn’t bring yourself to do it? In this episode, I talk about how I was able to forgive my father.
The song I’ll be sharing is a nostalgic look back at my growing up years.
YEARS OF MY YOUTH
I can still smell the leaves as they lay on the ground
Where the autumn winds blew them all over the town
We would climb to the treetops and look all around
'Till the call came for dinner, then we would come down
In the winters we built up our forts in the snow
Where we'd hide until evening and no-one would know
Bundled up in our snowsuits like small Eskimoes
Stomping 'round in our boots as we'd race to and fro
In the springtime, we'd marvel at all that was new
As the tulips and crocuses made their debut
Every summer we played 'till the sun sank from view
As the fireflies came out and the moon rose on cue
All the contests we held in our neighbor's backyard
Where we played hide-and-seek 'till it finally grew dark
Every innocent question we pondered for days
As we lay on our backs watching clouds, so amazed
If I live to be ninety I'll never forget
All those memories circling round in my head
Every detail I lived I will never regret
In those days, in those years of my youth
In those days, in those years of my youth

In this episode, I’ll be sharing my Banana Story...so fun! Find out how, where & why I got busted LOL!
On a more serious note, we’ll also be taking a look at secrets, shame & low self-esteem. How’s it going in that area of your life? Are you free from all shame, or do you live in its constant shadow? Do you know who you are in Christ? Do you believe what the Word of God says about you?
I’ll be mentioning a few of these verses which I’ve included here so you can study them & see just what God thinks of you. And if you decide you’re going to believe these verses, even if your feelings tell you a different story, I’m pretty sure your life will never, ever be the same again.
John 8:36: "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."
John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

Bet you didn’t know I was once a Motorcycle Mama, did you? Okay, so it was only a 100cc motorcycle, but still....it was pretty cool.
Hear my God story on this week’s episode. Vrooooom! I'll also be talking about keeping a record of your own God stories.
The song I’ll be sharing with you on this episode is "This Love of God".
THIS LOVE OF GOD
CHORUS:
Oh, this love of God's opened up my eyes
It's so full of truth and it never lies
And it's there for all and it wears no disguise
Oh, this love of God's opened up my eyes
Oh, this love of God's opened up.......my eyes
Well, it doesn't take long 'till you finally find
There's not many out there with a peace of mind
Such hurting and turmoil are everywhere
To find someone who loves you is so rare (Chorus)
It's a cold, cold world, yes, it's cruel out there
People full of hate, people who don't care
Still this world will one day all pass away
But this love of God's always here to stay (Chorus)
You can search for love, you can search for truth
Spend your whole life long, starting in your youth
But you will not find it before you die
Unless the love of God opens up your eyes (Chorus)
