Can I Really Be Redeemed? - Intro

Can God redeem my life? Can he take what is broken and really change me?

Can he take my sexually-stimulated mind and turn it into a pure and gentle spirit?

Can he dismiss my fears, anxieties, worries, stresses – and turn them into hopes, dreams, promises, absolutes?

Can he open my eyes to His loving goodness and close my eyes toward all that I should not see?

Can he redeem me and my boyfriend so that we may be pure?

Can he undo the wrongs we have done and turn our lives anew like the leaves of a tree; fallen yet rebloomed in springtime?

Can he remove the tragic parts of my mind and heart and dig behind the clutter and break down the walls I’ve built around my sinful pursuits?

Can he really redeem my life? Can he take all that I am, because I am wholly broken and really change me?

Hello, my name is Amy Lee and this^ is my current state of mind. I am a lost sinner, aching to be found and yearning to be made new. I began Linen & Kettle last year, unsure of the direction it would take me. I sit here now with an idea... one that will probably stick. I have always enjoyed blogging and being raw and truthful in each post and under the circumstances, I do believe this is more for me than anyone else. What I have done and what I unfortunately continue to do, must be brought out into the light. I am a sinner saved by God's grace and in that, I need to start prioritizing what I claim to be. That in the "saving", my mind is continually renewing, my mouth is always confessing, my heart is always repenting and my soul is always in line with the Holy Spirit's direction.

So, this is a simple and short introduction but it's dreadfully important that I stick to the simplest of forms of communication at the current moment. I hope to bring you content weekly, including reflection prompts and opportunities for you to grow along with me. Thank you for taking the time to read my piece and if you would, please pray for me. I want to grow and change but often I don't know how. Please pray that I would be able to hear the Word of the Lord when he speaks and that my heart would be open to obey Him. Thank you again,

Amy Lee
