Transformed

I refuse to let old patterns of victim hood interfere with my progress. Through Christ I am constantly being transformed. Each day is an opportunity to join in support my child's transformation.

All of us, with unveiled faces, seeking the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed in the same image from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord, the spirit. ~2 Corinthians 3:18

For their sake he remembered his covenant, and showed compassion according to the abundance of His steadfast love. ~Psalm 106:45
