Before I start this nights FMF post, I'd like to send a shout out to my daughter who turned double digits yesterday! Happy 10th birthday my sweet little girl!! Mama loves you sweetheart <3
So, it's been a few weeks since I have done a FMF post and I have really missed the ladies on Twitter. The encouragement and support are always superb and His light shines brightly through their words. For that, I am very thankful! I don't yet know what tonight's prompt is but I know what's on my heart. Last night, I have finally put into words exactly what my heart has been screaming for the last 5 years but my brain couldn't formulate the sentences and said, "No, not yet." It takes courage and boldness to speak the truth and although it may hurt initially, I pray it will be put to Good and help someone else. I'll be adding an additional critical piece to my book before it's release. It's been delayed longer than I originally anticipated and now I know why. Thank you, Father, for your perfect timing. And with this additional info involving a particular character, it will allow the audience to know the truth about every person involved and how the effects of their choices and actions can alter one's way of thinking and self-esteem. Safe Under the Willow has yet to be released, but once it is, it will be a powerful look into one's journey with abuse, the way it shaped the main characters life and how it formed her personality and ways of thinking. In the end, the audience will see just how God carried her through the toughest of times and showed her how to walk on her own two feet. Encouraging and inspiring, Safe Under the Willow will show God's love and grace and how He pull's her through.
Now that I have that off my chest, let's look at tonight's one word prompt from Kate
Remember, unedited, non-scripted, freestyle writing from your heart...5 minutes, ready, set, GO!

FOLLOW
I've never been one to follow the crowd. In fact, I'd be the one standing in the background shaking my self-righteous head saying, "No this isn't right. They are wrong!" I wasn't ever a true follower of anything- always moving from place to place, job to job, friend to friend, hobby to hobby. I guess I've always been more of a jumper than anything else. Commitment has always been an issue for me. In fact, the only thing I ever committed myself to was my husband of almost 13 years of marriage and our children. So once I sat down to write a book, I didn't think I could commit myself for the long haul. But somehow I did. (I'm sure the Lord was pushing me forward through it all) Then came the night where I sincerely committed my life to the Lord. Living FOR HIM and NOT FOR ME. I've remained faithful and have followed Him along this path I'm walking, learning and growing each day. Since that time began, I've done a tremendous amount of soul searching and self discovery to find out the person I was before was...well... I didn't like her.
Reflecting upon what I've put into words only last night, one of my FMF most favorite gals gave me a special scripture tonight as I'm dealing with a struggle that I know I must do but I'm afraid of the hurt it will cause. It surely fits with tonight's word: follow

I will follow and serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May we all find refuge in His arms.
