Bernice = Victory

In Masters, a nine month discipleship program, I didn't like people knowing my middle name. I just thought there was no significance and didn't really like it. In recovery from my sex addiction I went on a journey of discovering who I am. In doing so I started with my name. In the Bible names were given for their meaning and I believed mine was given for a reason as well. Elizabeth means consecrated or set apart to God. Bernice means bringer of victory. Doesn't that just excite you!!!! Set apart to God to bring victory. If you knows testimony, you know I am victorious!!!! There are so many times I could have given up but by the grace and protection of God I was not a victim to my circumstances, I was and am a victor!!!! No longer do see my name as insignificant, I AM BERNICE = bringer of victory!!!!

In my arms

I have just experienced the greatest moment in my life!!!! Following the usual night routine, I sit down with Kamea to read her a scripture and pray before bed. She lays her head against my shoulder and cuddles while John begins to read to her. There was just something special about her cuddle that I started to cry. Apart of the scripture talked about my soul waiting. When John finished reading I sung my soul waits from Frontline to her and she embraces me even more. I pray over her, sing her a lullaby and hope this moment never ends. Sadly it does end but I will forever cherish the moment my daughter is embraced in my arms.
