Shackles and Chains
When I took Kaylee to school this morning, we heard my favorite song, "Shackles". Hearing it reminded me of a story I never wrote about. Kaylee was able to get a ring tone on her phone that plays-rather loudly-"My Chains are Gone" every time her phone rings. (Which can possibly be about 60 times a minute.) Around here, being free from shackles and chains is a pretty big deal, and I like that song too! Kaylee offered to have it added to my phone too, but I wouldn't let her. I told her I was afraid I would forget to turn off my phone one day during a funeral and "My Chains are Gone" would start to play-rather loudly! To that comment my 14 year old daughter said "What better song to have at your funeral?" I was telling the story to Carissa one day and before I could get to the punch line, she said "What better song to have at your funeral?" We all kind of think alike around here, and I have left Kaylee in charge of making sure that "Shackles" gets sung at my funeral. I've also OKed a little dancing in the aisles. There is something pretty wonderful about knowing that my girls are more set free than I was at their age! God is faithful!

I agree with your girls ~ they are wise ~ that is a good song for a funeral. The ultimate healing ~ free indeed!
You made me laugh when I read your comment on my blog. I got found out. : ) My friend MADE me wear that T-shirt. Well, made is a strong word. I didn't want to be known as a "Blogger", but I did it for her. I'm sure others will find me out as well.
Blessings to you!!
Ah-Ha... I see my friend said I made (or something close to that) her wear that shirt. She is a great friend!! Anyway, she was on the phone with me when she said that you spotted her on the LPM blog... I said, "Vicki who", and she told me who you were. I told her that I love you. Do you remember me Vicki? I sure hope so. I told Christina that we went to a Beth Moore simulcast together.
I went back into your archives to see a recent picture. I almost didn't recognize you with long blonde hair, but you were standing close to your hubby, so I knew it was you. I just remember you with short dark hair.
God has been so good to me these last 3 years in Illinois. I feel like a whole different person. Feel free to check out my blog anytime.
Blessings Vicki, Kim
Sweet Vicki,
What a warm response you gave me on my blog... I knew there was a reason I love you... You reflect the love of Christ!!!
Email me at toknowhim@insightbb.com
I don't know if that is the email address you have.
Christina came up for a visit to Illinois, and on Friday we drove to Tennessee to the Deeper Still conference. God was speaking to me this weekend. I am still learning from Beth too. I started "A Woman's Heart, God's Dwelling Place" (the revised version) yesterday. I can't wait to see what I will learn from God's Word.
I am so glad we found each other again :) Love ya, Kim
